someone didn't do their research. eagles aren't born with white head and tail feathers they turn white as they reach maturity.

look up them swimming... that's a sight to behold. They'll grab onto a fish or something too large to fly out with, then use their wings to pull them through the water... go to YouTube. It's AMAZING!!!

Do your research again. Bald eagles fledge brown or black, and the head plumage turns white at about 3 years of age.

bald eagles are capable of nearly 100 mph when diving in flight...the question was accurate in it did not state what type of flight.

SKEEMBOPBUBELAHEY, I recently learned from our raptor center that all birds that eat vertebrates are considered raptors, even crows, herons, penguins, pelicans & such... I always thought it was just the eagles, hawks, falcons, owls & condors.

If you've ever had the pleasure to see the King of the Raptors and our National Animal in flight, it had to be the fast flight speed.

HotDamn100, Yes that's correct I live by iron gate lake many eagles are here I've been watching them for years . This question should be fixed and people should try reading a book and study nature the things on the internet are often wrong and can be dangerous. Only believe half of what you see and nothing you hear . People's chronological s are just facts about everything you would want to know .

it says adults are mainly born with white heads and tail feathers . I don't think an adult can be born !

Vonnij11, You are correct. They are using the word born in a non-typical fashion to describe how the adults look and aren't actually stating that hatchlings appear with the white heads. It's just a misunderstanding of language by people who probably don't read much 🤷

Jew for Yeshua, This is an untrue statement cause most eagles or family of eagles have a territory they maintain to protect their young.
