The bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) is a bird of prey found in North America. An opportunistic feeder that subsists mainly on fish, upon which it swoops down and snatches from the water with its talons.

The bald eagle has served as a central national emblem of the United States since it was placed on the Great Seal on June 20, 1782. When you look at the majestic images our photographer Bonnie Block shows us, you can see why.
