yuxwule’ | Bald Eagle

by Michelle Parent

bald eagle – yuxwule’
[Haliaeetus leucocephalus (Linnaeus)] • Bald eagles are similar in size to golden eagles, but with shorter bodies and longer wingspans. Adult bald eagles have white head feathers, while the young are brown all over. They are more widely distributed along the coast than golden eagles and feed mainly on fish.
