#120 USA

The Bald Eagle is a bird of prey found in North America. It is the national bird and symbol of the United States of America. It is found near large bodies of open water with an abundant food supply and old-growth trees for nesting. Bald eagles are not actually bald, the name deriving from the older meaning of the word, "white headed".

In the late 20th century the Bald Eagle was on the brink of extirpation in the continental United States, while flourishing in much of Alaska and Canada. Populations recovered and stabilized, so the species was removed from the U.S. federal government's list of endangered species and transferred to the list of threatened species on July 12, 1995, and it was removed from the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife in the Lower 48 States on June 28, 2007.
