American Bald Eagle
The bald eagle is a magnificent bird of prey. It is not really bald, it just has white feathers on its head. The derivation of the name "bald" is from an obsolete English word meaning white.
Since 1782, the bald eagle has been the national symbol of the United States of America.

Habitat
Bald eagles live in forests near the shores of lakes and rivers.

Range
Bald eagles are found in North America from Florida to Alaska.

What did you do that the eagle sat still so that you could "shot" him? I like the focus on his face (only the face) so we can clearly see the eyes. The neutral background is also good. Unfortunately, the feathers aren´t that sharp so we could see every single "hair".
