Description
The bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), our national bird,is the only eagle unique to North America. The bald eagle's scientific name signifies a sea (halo) eagle (aeetos) with a white (leukos) head. At one time, the word "bald" meant "white," not hairless.
Both male and female adult bald eagles have a blackish-brown back and breast; a white head, neck, and tail; yellow feet, legs and beak; and pale yellow eyes.
The bald eagle is the only eagle confined to North America. There are no other large blackish-brown birds with a white head and tail in North American.
Status of the bald eagle - On June 28, 2007 the Department of Interior took the American bald eagle off the Federal List of Endangered and Threatened. Bald eagles will still be protected Under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act.

Thanks William, for the invitation to join the group. I probably haven't joined previously because I don't like many restrictions on how I process images and I'm fairly prolific, so I try to only join groups that allow more than one submission per day. Anyway, I have a few that could meet your group requirements and I'm glad you like my eagle shots. Thanks for the comment, L/F, and feature in the group, http://fineartamerica.com/groups/-wild-birds-of-the-world.html
