*** About Bald Eagles: Bald eagles are not only a symbol of strength and freedom in many cultures but are also among the largest birds of prey in North America. These majestic creatures can achieve a wingspan of up to 7.5 feet and are known for their keen eyesight, which allows them to spot prey from a considerable distance. Bald eagles typically prefer to nest in tall, sturdy trees near water bodies but can also adapt to life on coastal cliff-sides as depicted in this artwork. Their diet mainly consists of fish, but they are opportunistic feeders and will consume a range of other animals and carrion. Known for their dramatic courtship rituals which include high-flying displays and talon-locking, bald eagles are also a symbol of enduring wildlife conservation efforts, having come back from the brink of extinction in the latter 20th century.
