The bald eagle, Haliaeetus leucocephalus, is a magnificent bird of prey that is native to North America. This majestic eagle is, obviously, not really bald. The derivation of the name "bald" is from an obsolete English word meaning white. The bald eagle has been the national symbol of the USA since 1782.

Wow! Thank you all for such wonderful comments. I really appreciate each one!
Sherry, Last week, I had the great opportunity of photographing this majestic raptor at the Wildlife Festival in Lewiston, NY. His owner is an old friend of my husband. He let me shoot the bird as much as I wanted, AND, even lent me his 80-400 lens for the day!
An AMAZING experience!
I'm so glad that I have the BetterBuddies on this site to share and recieve feedback on the images that I've captured!
Blessings, Lisa♥

Sherry, I must be guilty, too... I sure have been somewhat envious of that lens.
(But was so grateful for the chance to borrow it!)
