Bald Eagles

Bald Eagles tend to live in areas where there are large expanses of water such as lakes and marshes where there are lots of tall trees. They can be found all over the United State of America apart from Hawaii.

According to some, it is said that the bald eagle at around age 40 years flies to high ground and over the next 150 days knocks its beak off and allows another to grow in its place....apparently as the eagle ages the beak bends out of shape...the eagle continually bangs the beak against the rocks until the beak falls off....then a new beak takes its place.....once the new beak is in place the eagle then tears out its claws and new ones grow back in......this allows the eagle to live another 30 years or so.......the only problem I have with this is that the eagle cannot eat for those 150 days....so how does it survive.....further I have never heard nor seen an eagle that has been found without a beak.....so your guess is as good as mine ----- Edit by Thycondrius ----- Actually, eagles(including the bald eagle you mentioned) do not lose their beak or talons, unless by extreme action. The Eagle Rebirth is a Urban Legend and its not true. Normaly, losing its beak means death by loss of blood. Eagles, like all other animals, cannot "Choose" to extend their lifespam byy any means, and live normally till 30Y old. So "NO", eagles do not put out their beaks and talons and cannot support 5Monts of starvation.(They are not bears for christ sake)

Fluffy, but the talons and beak are very hard -and sharp!

The bald eagle is on the increase.The bird has been taken off the endangered list,and is nesting again where it was eliminated.Eagles mate for life,and two is the normal number of chicks.As long as habitat is kept safe,and all poaching stopped,they should make a complete recovery.

north America.

also in Central America.

Very smart i guess.. they always know how to sneak up on their prey. they have to to eat..

they give birth in a safe place thats their nest warm and safe

The bald eagle is fully protected by law, and is no longer an endangered species. Poaching sometimes occurs, and these people are risking imprisonment for their acts.

All animals come in different shapes and sizes. It is know that the bird, the Eagle has a barrel shaped body.

Because they are an apex preditor which means that they are at the top of the food chain, so if anything happens on a lower level with any of the prey it feeds on then they may be in danger of starvation. Also, if there are toxic chemicals in their environment, they get a higher concentration in their bodies than their prey. If they get too much in their systems, then they can have reproductive problems, or even die from the effests of the toxins.

it is also due to the hunting and fising.

America soaring to the heights of humanity to be the most graceful, moral, strong, independant, almost extinct animal. Who thinks it's on the top of the food chain because it can swoop down on those other unsuspecting animals and bam there goes that whole morality "we do not tourte" thing. The eagle is just a glorified vulture who thinks it's better than all of the other birds because it eats it's animals alive. Much Luv,

This varies according to the region where the bald eagle lives. The mating season for bald eagles that live in the southern part of North America is from late September through November, while in the Great Plains and Mountain West, mating season ranges from January through to March. In Alaska bald eagles' mating seasin is from late March to early April.

dono u tell me ? But for the answer: MONKEYS. Really obvious

What i learned is that 90% of the bald eagles diet is fish. That is the biggest interaction with a biotic need, some of the types of fish they eat is bull head catfish, shad fish, carp fish and other fish that live near the tope of the ocean. There is a risk of drowing if they catch a to big of a fish.

Only those in the farthest northern and southern ranges are truly migratory, though resident eagles in between may travel very far in winter seeking food.

In general, eagles that nest south of the upper Great Lakes and eagles living in New England do not migrate.

Where ever water can be found. Many live along the coast, and large inland lakes such as Jordan, Shearon Harris, Badin, High Rock, and Tuckertown lakes, as well as Lake Norman, Lake James, and even small municipal reservoirs in High Point and Greensboro.

Some sources claim that golden eagles are larger and others claim bald eagles are larger. That is not surprising, since their size is close to being the same and statistics for their sizes varies.

From the National Geographic site:

Golden eagles have a height of 33 to 38 in (84 to 97 cm) and a wing span of 6 to 7.5 feet(1.8 to 2.3 m). They weigh 6 to 15 lbs (3 to 7 kg

Bald eagles have a height of 34 to 43 in (86 to 109 cm), with females being slightly larger than males. Their wingspan is 6 to 8 ft (1.8 to 2.4 m) and they weigh 6.5 to 14 lbs (3 to 6.5 kg).

From the New York Department of Environmental Conservation site:

Golden eagles measure 27-33 inches (70-84 cm) in length, has a wingspan of 78 inches (2 m), and weighs 7-14 pounds (3.2-6.4 kg).

Bald eagles measure about 30 inches (76 cm) high, have a wingspan of 72-84 inches (1.8-2.1 m), and weigh between 8 and 14 pounds (3.6-6.4 kg).

half the bald eagles in the world live in Alaska

BALD EAGLES ARE AWESOME

yes there have been occurences where an eagle has attacked a human

The Bald Eagle(Haliaeetus leucocephalus) is a bird of prey found in North America that is most recognizable as the National Bird and symbol of the United States of America. This Sea Eagle has two known subspecies and forms a species Pair with the White tail Eagle. Its range includes most of Canada and Alaska, all of the continquas United States and northern Mexico. It is found near large bodies of open water with an abundant food supply and outgrowth trees for nesting.

they hunt
They can fish, which is their raison d'ete (reason for being). Also they can have baby bald eagles which is something nothing else can do.
It hunts, eats, mates, and lives for 30 to 50 years, then it.............. dies

Yes. Just yesterday while i was camping i watched two bald eagles force a seagull to land in the ocean. after this, one of the birds snatched the seagull in its talons and they flew it to their nesting area. safe to assume it was not for tea and a bisquit.

Most eagles hunt in a way most other birds do. They glide through the air and look for food. As soon as they have spotted their target, they swoop down and sweep the prey off its feet and takes the prey to its nest.

The bald eagle eats mosly rodents including rats and mice, snakes, birds the size of quails and robins, and will eat roadkill and very small newborn deer usually when they are stillborn.
