The Bald Eagle is only found on the North American continent. Full grown, these birds weigh between 9-12 pounds and have a wing span of up to 8 feet. A very large dark bird with a white head and white tail. Length between 35 - 40 inches. This makes them one of the largest birds in North America. Females are larger than males. Those that reside in the northern United States are larger than those that reside in the south. Feeding mainly on fish, they are also skilled hunters. Bald eagles are opportunistic predators meaning that in addition to hunting for live prey, they will steal from other animals or scavenge on carrion such as this deer carcass.
