Bald Eagle ~ #27 in Explore 6/13/14
The Bald Eagle is both the national bird and national animal of the United States of America. The Bald Eagle appears on its Seal.
Its range includes most of Canada and Alaska, all of the contiguous United States, and northern Mexico. It is found near large bodies of open water with an abundant food supply and old-growth trees for nesting.
Bald eagles are not actually bald; the name derives from an older meaning of "white headed". The adult is mainly brown with a white head and tail. The sexes are identical in plumage, but females are about 25 percent larger than males. The beak is large and hooked. Plumage of the immature is brown.
In the late 20th century it was on the brink of local extinction in the continental United States. Populations recovered and the species was removed from the U.S. federal government's list of endangered species on July 12, 1995 and transferred to the list of threatened species. It was removed from the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife in the Lower 48 States on June 28, 2007. The average lifespan of Bald Eagles in the wild is around 20 years, with the oldest confirmed one having been 28 years of age ~ Davie, Florida U.S.A.
