American Bald Eagles are the national birds of the United States of America. Strikingly beautiful and powerful birds, they express dignity and freedom. An adult Bald Eagle has a brown plumage, with a white head and tail. Only mature birds have such physical characteristics. The young birds that have not reached the age of 4 years old do not have the white coloring.
American Bald eagles have short and powerful grasping toes, and long talons. Their wingspan is huge, and can reach seven and a half feet. The eagle's beak and eyes turn yellow during the fourth and fifth year. Bald Eagles measure about 29 to 42 inches long, and can weigh 7 to 15 pounds. Females tend to be larger than males. Bald Eagles can live up to 25 years in the wild, up to 36 years in captivity.
Scientific Name: Haliaeetus leucocephalus
