Bald Eagle: Today I learned about the bald eagle. They are 2 or 3 feet tall, but their wing is 8 feet long! They are the only eagle native to North America. They have been the National Bird since1782. They are often found by lakes and rivers looking for fish and other animals. They eat small animals, small birds, fish and carrion. Carrion is a dead animal. They especially eat these in the winter. They built their nest in the trees or on the ground. It takes 5 years for the birds to get their white head feathers.
