Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus)
Photographed the Bald Eagle up in the nest in a large Poplar in the Cedar Meadows Wildlife Park located in the Township of Mountjoy in the City of Timmins in Northeastern Ontario Canada
The Bald Eagle Haliaeetus leucocephalus is an enormous bird. Haliaeetus denotes sea eagle and leucocephalus refers to its white head. The wings, wide and long for soaring, span more than 2 m. When perched, the bird measures about 76 cm tall. Weights of over 7 kg are not uncommon. On average, females are larger than males, and juveniles are larger but lighter in weight than adults of the same sex. Bald Eagles that breed in the southern United States are smaller than those that breed farther north.
