Quick Facts
• The scientific name for bald eagles, Haliaeetus leucocephalus, means “white-headed sea-eagle.”
• Females are larger than males. On average the wingspan of a bald eagle is between six and a half and seven and a half feet.
• The bald eagle was adopted as the national bird of the United States in 1782. At that time, there was an estimated 25,000-75,000 specimens. In 1963, there were less than 500 pairs left in the wild. According to the Fish and Wildlife Service, there are more than 9,000 estimated pairs in the wild today.
• Bald eagles see in color. In fact, they have eyesight that’s four to seven times better than that of a human.
