Fun Facts
Did you know that the Bald Eagle is the national bird of the United States? It's true! These amazing birds are found only in North America. They have incredible eyesight, which helps them spot fish and other prey from very high up in the sky. Their scientific name, Haliaeetus leucocephalus, actually means "sea eagle with a white head." Bald eagles love to build huge nests, often high in tall trees near water. Some of their nests can be as big as a small car! They mostly eat fish, but they also hunt small mammals and birds. They can live for a very long time, sometimes over 20 years in the wild. How cool is that?
