Widespread across North America, from Alaska and Canada south to Mexico. Primarily found near large bodies of water, such as coasts, lakes, and rivers, for fishing.
How to spot
Look for its massive size and striking white head and tail. Often seen soaring high, perching conspicuously on tall trees near water, or actively fishing. Listen for its shrill calls.

Despite its 'bald' name, the Bald Eagle is not bald; its head is covered with distinctive white feathers. The name comes from an older meaning of 'bald' which meant white-headed.
