The country’s most iconic bird is found throughout most of the United States and Canada, and locally south into Mexico. It dines primarily on fish, but will also feed on birds and mammals, and often eats carrion. Highly territorial during the breeding season, it is sociable the rest of the year, often gathering at communal roosting or feeding spots. The raptor has complex migration patterns; some are residents, while immature birds may roam nomadically for years, and adults breeding in the northern interior migrate far south for the winter. Bald Eagles experienced widespread population declines in the 20th century, largely as a result of pesticides and hunting. It rebounded after DDT was outlawed, and the Bald Eagle was removed from the Endangered Species List in 2007.

The Bald Eagle is a famous bird that lives in the United States and Canada. It likes to eat fish, but it also eats other animals and sometimes eats dead animals. In the breeding season, it is very protective of its territory, but it is friendly the rest of the year. Bald Eagles have different migration patterns, with some staying in one place and others traveling far south for the winter. Their population declined in the past because of pesticides and hunting, but it has since rebounded and they are no longer considered endangered.
