June 2020: Bald Eagle

Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus)

Throughout the month of June 2020, FaunaFocus will be collaborating with the American Eagle Foundation and featuring the bald eagle!

The bald eagle is an opportunistic, carnivorous forager native to North America. This large raptor prefers to reside near large bodies of water and is named for the iconic white coloring of its head contrasting with the dark plumage of its body. The bald eagle has been the national symbol of the U.S. since 1782 and was an endangered species until 1978.
