Bald eagles call the entire North American continent above Mexico their range. But, you are most likely to see an eagle near a large body of water with nearby old growth forests. The largest populations are in Alaska during the late fall and the Mississippi Valley in the winter.

The bald eagle is the national symbol of the United States, but if Benjamin Franklin had his way, it would have been the turkey. He thought the turkey was a more 'respectable bird' because it never scavenged or stole food from other birds
