Haliaeetus leucocephalus is known as the national bird of the United States. The name of the bird is referred to the white color of the head. The species is found over most of North America. There are about 70,000 birds of this species in the world, with a half of the population living in Alaska. The image of the bird appears in many government institutions and on official documents. It symbolizes power, freedom, and dignity. There are several other species of large birds, but only these ones are confined to Northern America. That’s why they were chosen as a national symbol.

Male birds normally measure about three feet from head to tail, and weigh 7 to 10 pounds. Their wingspan is amazing, and reaches about 6 1/2 feet. These birds are perfectly adapted for hunting and fishing. They soar at a great altitude looking for a prey and then swoop down very rapidly. They are able to conserve energy and soar for many hours on thermals (columns of rising air.) Their migratory patterns are determined by wind currents. They circle to a high altitude and then glide long distances until they find the next thermal. The american bald eagle pictures can be viewed on most bird sites with photos of birds.
