I've watched this American Bald Eagle, Haliaeetus leucocephalus, from a great distance for the last two months, between the snow, ice, and cold weather I wasn't able to get close to him. Yesterday, I was able to hike into the area of his perch along the Colorado River. Now he watches me. For over an hour we "eyed" each other. Eventually, he flew down river in search of a different perch and food. The ice flows on the river were breaking up and spotting fish was probably becoming easier. Image captured between Grand Junction and Fruita, Mesa County, Colorado near the northern bank of the Colorado river.
The bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), our national bird, is the only eagle unique to North America. The bald eagle's scientific name signifies a sea (halo) eagle (aeetos) with a white (leukos) head. At one time, the word "bald" meant "white," not hairless. Bald eagles are found throughout most of North America, from Alaska and Canada to northern Mexico. About half of the world's 70,000 bald eagles live in Alaska. Combined with British Columbia's population of about 20,000, the northwest coast of North America is by far their greatest stronghold for bald eagles. They flourish here in part because of the salmon. Dead or dying fish are an important food source for all bald eagles.
