The bald eagle was officially declared the National Emblem of the
United States in 1782. The American Bald Eagle’s scientific name,
Haliacetus leucocphalus, literally means “white-headed sea eagle”.
These majestic birds are one of the largest birds of prey found in
North America. Females are slightly larger than males reaching
15 pounds, standing 3 feet tall and spreading up to 8 feet in
wingspan. The female eagle lays 1 to 3 white eggs in March and
April.
The bald eagle has excellent vision and on a clear day, they can see
fish from nearly 2 miles away. Once spotted, eagles use their razor
sharp talons to catch their prey.
A mated pair of bald eagles will return to the same nest, and defend
a territory around that nest each spring. Both eagles take turns
incubating the eggs for 34 to 40 days.
As of 1995, the bald eagle is no longer considered an endangered
species. Harming an eagle carries an initial conviction of a one-year
jail sentence and $5,000 in fines.
There are approximately 4,500 nesting pairs and 20,000 total birds
in the lower 48 states
