Comments

The famous bald eagle, Haliaeetus leucocephalus, is a native North American bird of prey that won a battle against near extinction in some areas during the 1970s. This victory now results in a population that spans most of North America, from Alaska to northern Mexico. In Canada, British Columbia, with its abundance of salmon, is the stronghold of this remarkable hunter; however, this magnificent bird breeds in all provinces and territories. Its population is regularly monitored by wildlife authorities. Most people know that, despite its name, the bald eagle, the eagle is not bald. This probably comes from an old usage of the word meaning "white" or from the English word piebald, which means "spotted". The eagle's head and tail are covered with pristine white feathers, while the rest of its body is dark brown. It has a sharp, hooked beak and long legs with razor-sharp claws and small spikes on its talons, all of which make it an outstanding hunter.Automatically translated
