Haliaeetus leucocephalus
- Adult Bald Eagles are large bodied and have white head and tails, dark brown bodies and wings and yellow legs and bills. It takes about 5 years for Bald Eagles to develop their adult plumage.

- Bald Eagles can be found near bodies of water and will nest in tall trees near the water. They breed from Alaska to Newfoundland and south to the Gulf Coast.
