The bald eagle, the United State’s national bird, can be identified by its large yellow bill and white head and tail.
Golden eagles can be identified by their brown- and yellow-colored feathers.
Bald eagles have a wingspan between 70 to 90 inches wide, while a golden eagle has a smaller wingspan of 80 to 88 inches wide. In recent years, there has been an increase in the bald eagle population, making them easier to spot. However, if you find an eagle’s nest, let it be! Disturbing the nest can be fatal to the young birds inside.
