Juvenile Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) by 


The Bald Eagle is a bird of prey found in North America. Bald eagles are not actually ‘bald’. The name derives from an older meaning of the word, ‘white-headed’.
The plumage of the juveniles (immature eagles) is brown and the head is speckled with white until they reach sexual maturity in their fifth year.
