Bald Eagle Portrait

The Bald Eagle is the national bird of the United States of America

 

Did you know?

When a bald eagle loses a feather on one wing, it will lose a feather on the other in order to keep its balance!

 

The bald eagle isn't bald. The word “bald” actually comes from the word “piebald” which is used to describe something that is spotty or patchy.
