Let not the name ‘bald eagle’ deceives you. Bald eagles are not actually bald. The term bald refers to the white plumage on their head; the term bald meant white-headed in olden times. This ‘bald’ bird is the national bird of the US.
The bald eagle is a sea eagle found along the coasts of North America and riversides. It is not a picky eater. The diet of a bald eagle is constituted primarily of fish. It catches fish by swooping down and grabbing fish that are near the surface of a lake or stream. It occasionally eats small mammals. It is also known to steal food from other birds and occasion-ally feeds on carrion as well.
The adult male is about 90 cm long and has a wingspan of 2 metres. Females grow somewhat larger than males; they may reach 108 cm in length and have a wingspan of 2.5 metres!
