The bald eagle is one of 36 different species of eagles throughout the world, there are only 2 species throughout North America. The bald eagle is a powerful symbol and even though not as impressive of a predator as the golden eagle, it is an amazing predator.
This eagle is only found in North America and nowhere else in the world, unlike the golden eagle that is found throughout the world. It is an impressive predator with a wing span that can stretch 6 feet. It must have been exciting when the English first settled into the United States and saw these white headed eagles that they had never seen before. Back then the English spoke "old English" and the word bald use to mean white and they called it the bald headed eagle.
The majority of bald eagles migrate to Alaska and areas of Canada to nest, these birds travel a long way and can be found throughout much of the US in the winter time. Bald eagles have been documented traveling over 500 miles in a day, which is pretty impressive only flying during day light. When these birds reach Alaska they go back to the exact same nest every year; an amazing sense of direction. They mate for life and will have approximately 1-3 eggs per year. They are sexually mature at the age of 5, which is when they get their white head and white tail.
Golden Eagles are more powerful, more agile, and take larger prey. The bald eagle is still impressive and I have seen them take down ducks in mid-air, and they have been clocked in a dive at speeds of over 100 miles per hour. Even though bald eagle have been known to scavenge and usually eat fish, they have a wide variety of prey they will pursue. Eagle have amazing power in their feet and with each talon, can apply hundreds of pounds of pressure. The bald eagle is truly an amazing predator and a great symbol for power, loyalty, courage, and freedom.
