Bald Eagle assignment

Here is a picture of a bald eagle I took yesterday while I was on a golf cart ride.

The Bald Eagle comes from the word "piebald" which means that it has spots or patches.  The wings are two metres long.  If one wing loses a feather, the other wing will lose one to balance it out.  Baby Bald Eagles leave the nest when they are 12 weeks old and they are called Eaglets.  Most of Canada's Bald Eagle population is along the Pacific Coast of British Columbia.  They are also found in Alberta and Saskatchewan.  There are 70 000 left in the world and half of these live in Alaska.
