bald eagles
National bird, plural
Bald eagles are large North American birds of prey, distinguished by their white-feathered heads and tails contrasting with dark brown bodies.
The national bird and symbol of the United States, they appear on currency, seals, and government insignia.
Despite the name, they aren't bald—the word comes from an old sense meaning white-headed.
