Bald eagles have made an impressive recovery since the 1970s when they almost became extinct. It is the national bird of the United States, serving as the country’s emblem since the late 18th century.
These birds have two focus centers. It is a natural trait that enables them to see to the side and forward at the same time to spot prey. Then bald eagles swoop in quickly to grab what they locate, reaching a diving speed of more than 100 miles per hour.
Although we call them an eagle, the bird is closer in size and physical characteristics to a raptor. It has a wingspan that can reach seven feet, although the birds can be as light as even pounds.
Bald eagles use wind currents to reach an impressive altitude. They can climb up to 10,000 feet into the air.
This species also looks for its soulmate. Once a bald eagle couple starts nesting together, it is a relationship that lasts for the rest of their lives.
