*** About Bald Eagles: The bald eagle, known scientifically as Haliaeetus leucocephalus, holds profound significance in North American culture as a symbol of strength and freedom. These formidable birds of prey are predominantly found in North America, nesting near large bodies of open water where fish are plenty. Bald eagles have a striking appearance with their white head and tail contrasting against a dark brown body and wings. Their impressive wingspan and powerful flight are emblematic of their role as apex predators in their ecosystem. In Canada, Alberta's vast and varied landscape provides the perfect backdrop for the bald eagle, embodying the spirit of the wild that is echoed throughout the province’s culture and artwork.
