As this portrait shows, the American bald eagle is easily identified by its head of all-white feathers, hooked yellow bill, and piercing 'eagle' eyes that let the raptor see its prey up to one mile (1.6 kilometers) away. The bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) is native to North America and was adopted as the national bird and symbol of the United States in 1782 when thousands of the magificent birds existed. After only 487 nesting pairs were counted in the 48 contiguous states in the 1960s, they became protected as an endangered species.
