Did you know that in 1782, the bald eagle became the national bird and political symbol of the United States of America? When the early settlers first came to America, they gave the mighty bird its name completely by accident by mistaking it for a Sea Eagle, which was a common bird throughout Europe in the 18th century. They had never seen a bald eagle in Europe because the American bald Eagle is unique to North America. The scientific name of the bald eagle is Haliaetus leucocephalus, which actually translates from Latin and Greek into 'sea eagle with a white head.
