About A little about the Eagle.

Recognition
The Bald Eagle is Canada's largest bird of prey. Its distinctive features are its white head and tail. But this is true only of the adults since it takes about five years to develop its distinctive plumage. The juveniles are quite dark and are often confused with Golden Eagles. However the Bald Eagle's bare legs separate it from the Golden Eagle's feathered legs.

Haunts

Associated with river and lake shore habitats. They build huge nests in tops of large poplar trees along the Columbia River and valley lakes.

Schedule

Bald Eagles have been seen rebuilding their nests as early as February. They may lay their eggs as early as late March and the young are usually fledged by mid-July. In the fall eagles congregate around the Kokanee salmon spawning creeks such as Tobby and Windermere creeks. While most migrate south a few Bald Eagles hang tough all winter, dining on water fowl and animals killed on the railway and highways.

Field Notes

The Bald Eagle is a symbol of strength and freedom: A female Bald Eagle's wings are almost 8 feet long and pound for pound is stronger than an airplane wing. Eagles can fly higher and see further than any other bird. They can strike their prey with twice the force of a rifle bullet.


Thanks for looking and your comments

I love these discussions about national symbols!
:)))
nevertheless, I'd prefer always a stuffed turkey to a stuffed bald eagle (did you ever try, btw?:))
as with regards to our austrian eagle: it's a monster (maybe one time genetical engeneering will produce a similar beast): two heads and hammer&sickle in its clutches... imagine!
old (habsburg) austria had many vices, but one rare virtue: no colonies...
nevermind, keep up the good work.

Wonderful portrait of a majestic bird. Our national bird here in Canada is the common loon, beautiful bird. We have a handful of bald eagles in our area, rarely do I see one flying over, but there are ospreys on the lake, a similar though more slender bird.

Pretty bold words Fabio from a country that had a 2 headed eagle as its national symbol. How strange is that? Sounds like a little bird envy going on here. Face it the bald eagle outclasses all others no matter how many heads the others have. Of course if the USA didn't have those rapacious qualities you all in Europe would be goose stepping to offspring of that little corporal with the mustache about now.

Have a nice day.

the bald eagle always looked rather stupid than bold for me (exactly therefore the idiosyncrasic bird for CIA, NCA, et. alii:))
why did the 'founding fathers' chose it? obviously because of its rapacious qualities: the qualities america is built upon (s. extermination of the indigenous peoples, mass slavery of imported africans, etc.) I'd prefer instead much more the peaceful and very tasty turkey!!
:))
so much with regards to that lengthy comment...
as with regards of the picture: it is excellent.

Mike, thank you for posting the information about the bald eagle, it was very informative. Thank you also for posting such a nice photo. The look of determination on that eagle's face speaks volumes. I don't think any other bird has that majestic look. I am so glad that our founding fathers decided on that as our national bird instead of the turkey, can you imagine?! Anyway thanks for posting this beautiful image.

Rather nice looking Eagle Mike. I like the space infront of the beak for it to look into, and the plain dark background sets this off really well.
