About
The bald eagle is a large North American bird of prey standing nearly three feet tall.
Like most birds of prey, female bald eagles are roughly twenty-five percent larger than males. Despite standing as tall as a small child, their hollow bones keep their body weight surprisingly light for effortless soaring. Their broad wings can spread well over six feet across, easily dwarfing most other raptors in North America.
From Wikipedia
The bald eagle is a bird of prey found in North America. A sea eagle, it has two known subspecies and forms a species pair with the white-tailed eagle, which occupies the same niche as the bald eagle in the Palearctic.
