Where do they live?
Bald eagles live exclusively in North America, off the coast of oceans and lakes
from Baja California and Florida in the south to the island of Newfoundland and
Alaska in the north. They can mainly be found near reservoirs, along rivers, the
oceanic coast, near lakes, reservoirs and swamps. During the migration season,
eagles fly long distances and can be seen in the mountains and plains. In winter,
populations of bald eagles from the north and central part of North America
migrate to open water.

Bald eagles are iconic American birds and the only eagle species found
throughout North America. Stray eagles appear on islands in Eastern Russia,
Belize, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, usually after storms knock them off
course.

Eagles are excellent swimmers, although if you see one of them, you
may find it clumsy. They use their wings to perform what is essentially
a breaststroke stroke. They usually do this when they drag large fish
to the shore.

7.

Eagles steal prey from hawks, ospreys and other eagles, which makes them
"kleptoparasites". This tendency becomes more pronounced when there is not enough
food
