Fun Facts: The bald eagle population was close to extinction but since the mid-1970s they have now recovered to a protection status of threatened. They are the most abundant in Alaska and Canada. They use their talons to fish for their food, but many of their meals come from scavenging or stealing the kills of other animals. The largest bald eagle nest ever recorded weighed more than 2 tons and was 9.5 feet wide and 20 feet high. They are not actually bald; they have a white snowy-feathered head.
