A symbol of strength and freedom, it is recognizable by its white head and tail against a dark brown body and wings. Thriving near large bodies of open water, the bald eagle prefers abundant fish populations to feed on and large trees to nest in. Despite facing near-extinction in the U.S. mainland in the late 20th century due to hunting and pollutants, conservation efforts have led to a significant recovery. Protected under the U.S. Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act, these majestic creatures continue to captivate and inspire wildlife enthusiasts. Their diets primarily consist of fish, but they will occasionally hunt small mammals and birds.:
