The beautiful bald eagle is one of the most admired and celebrated of all raptors. This stunning bird’s white head and tail feathers, dark brown plumage and curved, golden beak contribute to its distinctive, noble appearance. Its 7-foot wingspan is breathtaking to those lucky enough to glimpse an eagle in flight. Revered as sacred in many Native American cultures and honored as the national bird of the United States, the bald eagle holds a special place in many hearts. The four vivid photographs on our Bald Eagle checks celebrate this majestic bird in its wild habitat.
