***About Bald Eagle

***: The bald eagle, America’s national bird, is a large raptor recognized for its white head and tail contrasting with a dark brown body and wings. Found primarily in North America, bald eagles prefer habitats near seacoasts, rivers, large lakes, or other large bodies of open water with abundant fish. Despite their fierce image and supreme hunting prowess, eagles are also scavengers, which can lead them to conflict with human activities. The species was once in decline because of hunting, habitat destruction and the effects of pesticides like DDT. Protective legislation, such as the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act in the United States, has assisted in recovering populations, making the bird a successful symbol of wildlife conservation.
