On June 20, 1782, the bald eagle was selected as the national bird of the United States.

As a national treasure, it can be seen on the President of the United States emblem.

With one foot holding an olive branch and the other holding an arrow, its powerful and dominant image symbolizes peace and mighty force.

Why is it called the "White-Headed It Sea Eagle"? It is simple because its head is white, that is why it is named so.

As a large bird, the white-headed sea eagle is still quite large, with a general body length of 71 to 96 cm.

With both wings spread, it can reach 168 to 244 centimeters, and its weight is usually 3 to 6.3 kilograms.

The flight speed of the white-headed sea eagle is not to be underestimated, generally reaching 56 to 70 kilometers per hour when gliding and winging, even while holding onto prey, the speed can still be maintained at 48 kilometers per hour. One

In general, the white-headed sea eagle's area of activity will be in open water, as there are abundant food resources there.

Generally speaking, the immature white head sea eagle will be darker than the adult white head sea eagle feather color, the whole body feathers are mainly dark brown.

After the four to six-year-old White-headed Sea Eagles become adults, their head, neck, and tail feathers will gradually turn white, very interesting.

Not only that, but immature White-headed Sea Eagles tend to be larger than adults, as the younger ones will have longer tails and wing feathers.

White-headed sea eagles also have excellent visual abilities. The eye muscles of the white-headed sea eagle have little room to move, and its eyes cannot be turned around.

To make up for this shortcoming, the white-headed sea eagle has grown many neck bones, thus allowing the neck to move flexibly, so flexibly that it can turn its head 270 degrees.

In addition, like many other birds, the white-headed sea eagle has a special layer of eyelids in each eye.

This layer of eyelids keeps the eyes moist and protects them from external stimuli.

The intelligence of white-headed sea eagles is also worth mentioning, as they are very strategic when foraging for food.

They will search for food on their own and will look around to see where other eagles are gathering.

When they find many eagles hovering in one place, they will know that there is food in that place, and they will run over to feed.

They have four toes, each with a long, curved claw that allows them to grip fish or snakes.

When a white-headed sea eagle captures prey, its claws plunge deep into the prey's body, piercing its heart or lungs, which are vital organs, killing them in one blow.

This is the white-headed sea eagle, a national treasure of the United States, did you learn about it?
