Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus)

Fun facts:

• The largest bald eagles tend to live in Alaska where they sometimes weigh as much as 17 pounds
• When a bald eagle loses a feather on one wing, it will lose a feather on the other in order to keep its balance
• Bald eagles tend to pair up for life, and they share parenting duties: The male and the female take turns incubating the eggs, and they both feed their young.
• In the wild, they can live between 28 and 38 years
