The Bald Eagles  with its snowy-feathered head and white tail,is the proud national bird symbol of the United States-yet the bird was nearly wiped out there.For many decades,bald eagles were hunted for sport and for the protection of fishing grounds.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        The bald eagle is found in marshes and coastlines.They have very large and broad wings,with a broad tail. the head and tail are white in color,which is the major distinguisable factor of the bald eagle.The long,hooked bill is yellow in color.They prey fish,douks,rabbits,raccoons,beavers,geese,gulls,reptiles etc.
