The Bald Eagle is so named for its conspicuous white head and tail. The distinctive white adult plumage is not attained until 5 or more years of age. Immature birds lack this easily identifiable characteristic and can be confused with the Golden Eagle. The immature Bald Eagle’s unfeathered tarsi (lower legs) and whitish wing linings on the forward part of the wings, can be helpful distinctions where the two species coexist. The Bald Eagle is Alaska’s largest resident bird of prey (the Steller’s Sea Eagle is larger) with a wing span up to 7 1/2 feet (2.3 m) long and weights of 8 to 14 pounds (3.6-6.4 kg). Like many raptors, females are larger than males.

On the average a young adult bird will have a 5-6 foot wing span. I see eagles all the time and have seen them get to 7 feet. They are awesome to watch, especially at nesting time! I live in MO now, but when I was in FL I saw one swoop down and grab a fish from our pond! It was so cool I began a vigil watching them. I still love it.

The wingspan ranges from 72 to 85 inches: 6 to 7 feet.
