Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus)

Despite Bald Eagle is the national symbol of United States of America, its range reaches over almost all North America. It is an unchangeable big species of bird of prey. Its wingspan reaches up to 2,5 meters. Bald Eagles live all their life in monogamous pairs, but when the food resources are abundant, they can also gather around them in bigger flocks (for instance, close to the migration routes of salmons). They usually built their large nests on the trees or rock cliffs. They can lie up to three eggs, nevertheless, usually, only one chick survives. Their main diet consists of fish, but they also prey on other vertebrates or crustaceans and consume animal carrions. Their legs are equiped by long and very sharp claws. This is beause they must catch well the squeezy skin of the water vertebrates.
