"A soaring, majestic silhouette on the skyline, the bald eagle has not only
been the national symbol of the United States for more than 240 years, but it
is also a symbol of how the Endangered Species Act can save wildlife from
extinction.
The bald eagle is the only eagle solely indigenous to North America. A species
of sea eagle, fish are a major part of its diet, although it will also eat
waterfowl, small mammals and carrion. They are found in wetlands, near rivers
and lakes, or on the coast throughout North America. Its wingspan ranges from
72 to 90 inches (182-228 cm) and they weigh around 10 to 14 pounds (4.5-6.4 kg)
when adults. This makes them one of the largest birds of prey resident in North
America (the Californian condor is the largest). They get their name from the
old English world “balde” meaning “white-headed.”"
