The
bald eagle our national bird, is the only eagle unique to North
America. At one time, the word "bald" meant "white," not hairless.
The bald eagle is found over most of North America, from Alaska and
Canada to northern Mexico. About half of the world's 70,000 bald
eagles live in Alaska. Bald Eagles flourish in North America in part
because the salmon. Dead or dying fish are an important food source
for all bald eagles.
The bald
eagle was chosen June 20, 1782 as the emblem of the United States of
American, because of its long life, great strength and majestic
looks, and also because it was then believed to exist only on this
continent.
The eagle
represents freedom. Living as he does on the tops of lofty
mountains, amid the solitary grandeur of Nature, he has unlimited
freedom, whether with strong pinions he sweeps into the valleys
below, or upward into the boundless spaces beyond. Bring the majesty
of the Bald Eagle into your home with any of our Patriotic Bald
Eagle Gifts.
