Bald Eagle
The Bald Eagle is a powerful sea eagle native to North America, easily recognised by its stark white head and tail contrasting with a dark brown body. They build some of the largest tree nests of any animal, which can weigh up to a tonne. While they are capable hunters, they are also notorious kleptoparasites, frequently stealing fish from other birds like osprey.
