Description
An Eagle sits on a branch as it hunts for food in Springfield Missouri near Springfield Lake. The bald eagle is a bird of prey found in North America. A sea eagle, it has two known subspecies and forms a species pair with the white-tailed eagle. Its range includes most of Canada and Alaska, all of the contiguous United States, and northern Mexico. They are found near large bodies of open water with an abundant food supply and old-growth trees for their nests.
The bald eagle is an opportunistic feeder which subsists mainly on fish, which it swoops down and snatches from the water with its claws / talons. It builds the largest nest of any North American bird and the largest tree nests ever recorded for any animal species, up to 13 feet deep, 8.2 feet wide, and 1 metric ton in weight. Sexual maturity is attained at the age of four to five years and that's when their heads turn white. (some info from wikipedia)
