Baldy

Baldy

The Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), our National Bird, is the only eagle unique to North America. The bald eagle's scientific name signifies a sea (halo) eagle (aeetos) with a white (leukos) head. At one time, the word "bald" meant "white," not hairless. Bald eagles are found throughout most of North America, from Alaska and Canada to northern Mexico. About half of the world's 70,000 bald eagles live in Alaska.
Eagles are a member of the Accipitridae family; which also includes hawks, kites, and old-world vultures.
