Description
A bald eagle sits on a high branch watching for prey. This image was taken by backwater from the Mississippi River as it flows between Illinois and Iowa in the Rock Island area. A beautiful sunny day in winter caused a lovely clear blue sky for the background of this image.
The Bald Eagle has been the national emblem of the United States since 1782 and a spiritual symbol for native people for far longer than that. These regal birds aren’t really bald, but their white-feathered heads gleam in contrast to their chocolate-brown body and wings. Look for them soaring in solitude, chasing other birds for their food, or gathering by the hundreds in winter.
