Bald Eagle Hat

The bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), our national bird, is the only eagle unique to North America. Bald eagles are found throughout most of North America.. About half of the world's 70,000 bald eagles live in Alaska. They flourish here in part because of the salmon. Dead or dying fish are an important food source for all bald eagles. They have a wing span of about 80 inches, weigh about 12 pounds and can lift 4 pounds with their talons. They can see 4 times better than a human.
