The great Bald Eagle, Haliaeetus leucocephalus, is a native North American bird of prey whose battle back from the brink of extinction in some areas in the 1970s is a species success story. Today, its range covers most of North America, from Alaska to northern Mexico. In Canada, salmon-rich British Columbia is the astonishing hunter’s stronghold; however, this magnificent bird breeds in all provinces and territories. Its populations are regularly monitored by wilderness authorities. Most people realize that, despite its name, the Bald Eagle is not bald. The term “bald” may come from an outmoded usage meaning “white” or from the term “piebald,” which means “patchy.” The Bald Eagle’s head and tail are covered in bright white feathers and the remainder of its body is dark brown. It has a sharp hooked beak and large feet tipped with long, razor-like talons and small spicules (spikes) that make it an exceptional hunter.
