*** About Bald Eagle: The bald eagle, known scientifically as Haliaeetus leucocephalus, serves as both a national symbol of the United States and a key species in its native habitats. Characterized by its white head and tail, brown body, and yellow beak, the adult bald eagle is easily recognizable and celebrated for its strength and majesty. These birds of prey prefer habitats near large bodies of open water with abundant fish supply and old-growth trees for nesting. Highly territorial during the breeding season, bald eagles are known for their dramatic courtship displays and lifelong pair bonds. Conservation efforts have successfully brought the species back from the brink of extinction in the latter half of the 20th century, showcasing the impact of sustained environmental protection measures.:
