The bald eagle weighs from 12 pounds and up to a similar range. Males are smaller than females with a wingspan about six feet and length near three feet. Eagles see roughly five times better than humans and spot prey up to a mile away. They hunt in daytime and prefer fish but also eat injured or dead animals.
The notes describe eaglets taking roughly 35 days to hatch, showing feathers by a month old, flying around three months, and staying with parents for about a month after fledging.
Bald eagles mate for life and raise eaglets around age four. They build large stick nests called eyries and often return to the same nest each year. A famous nest measured 20 feet deep and weighed over a ton. They are not truly bald, having white head feathers. Bald Eagle Day is June 20, marking Congress adoption of the symbol 200 years ago. Today they are endangered in many states, plentiful in Alaska, absent in Hawaii.
