Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus)

The Bald Eagle is one of eight species of sea-eagle worldwide, and the only sea-eagle found throughout North America. It is one of the most studied North American birds.

Large size, wingspan of 6.6 - 8 feet, and the contrast of white head and tail, and yellow eyes, beak, and leg, to dark brown body and wings make the adult Bald Eagle on of our most distinctive raptors. Six age-related plumages have been recognized; adult plumage is acquired at 4.5 to 5.5 years of age.

Sexes have similar plumages, but females are larger than males, and the sex of individuals in breeding pairs can usually be determined by size when they perch close together.

The Bald Eagle breeds in 32 of 36 Oregon counties and is found throughout the state during nonbreeding season.
