Information
The
Bald Eagle is an endangered species and is the only unique
eagle found in North America, all other eagles have common
decendents from Europe and Asia. The Bald Eagles' range
extends from Alaska and Canada to Northern Mexico. There
are an estimated 50,000 Bald Eagles in the United States
with 80 percent found in Alaska.
Bald Eagle nests can reach the size of 5 feet in diameter,
and they use the same nest year after year. With time
some nests can grow to 9 feet in diameter, weighing two
tons. This creature reaches maturity between 4 or 5 years
of age, and like many people, this eagle mates for life.
If one of the mated birds die then the other will accept
a new mate. During their breeding season the Bald Eagle
couple protects the nest territory from other eagles or
predators.
