Eagle Fun Facts
Bald eagles were nearly extinct in the lower 48 states by the 1960s due to habitat loss and pesticide exposure. In 1963, there were only 417 nesting pairs of bald eagles left in the entire country.
Thanks to conservation efforts, bald eagles were removed from the endangered species list in 2007.
Bald eagles don't develop their characteristic white head and tail plumage until they reach four to five years of age.
Eagles build enormous nests, sometimes eight feet wide and weighing over a ton.
The average wingspan of a bald eagle is 6.5 to 7.5 feet.
Bald eagles mate for life and return to the same nest each year.
Eagles have exceptional eyesight—they can spot prey from up to two miles away.
While the bald eagle has been the national symbol of the United States since 1782, it was only recently declared the official national bird in December 2024.
The presence of eagles is a key indicator of healthy ecosystems near lakes, rivers, and forests.
The largest population of wintering bald eagles in the U.S. is found in Alaska, but they nest in nearly every state.
