Description
Bald eagle. View of a bald eagle Haliaeetus leucocephalus, in flight. This large eagle is the national bird of the USA.

The bald eagle has a length of 75-110 cm and wingspan 188-210 cm, the female being larger than the male. It feeds on water birds, fish and carrion. It ranges through- out North America with the largest birds coming from the northern parts of the range. After the breeding season the northern birds migrate south.
