BALD EAGLE's WINGSPAN

Wallpaper Description:

FUN FACTS :~

1. The bald eagle is not really bald; it actually has white feathers on its head, neck, and tail. Bald is a deviation of balde, an Old English word meaning white. The eagle was named for its white feathers instead of a lack of feathers.

2. Bald eagles may use the same nest year after year, adding more twigs and branches each time. One nest was found that had been used for 34 years and weighed over two tons.

3. The bald eagle can fly 20-40 mph in normal flight and can dive at speeds over 100 mph.

4. Bald eagles can actually swim! They use an overhand movement of the wings that is very much like the butterfly stroke.

5. More than 80% of the bald eagle population in the southeastern United States is concentrated within the state of Florida.
