North American Bald Ealge

The Bald Eagle is a bird of prey found in North America. It is the national bird and symbol of the United States of America. This sea eagle has two known sub-species and forms a species pair with the White-tailed Eagle. Its range includes most of Canada and Alaska, all of the contiguous United States, and northern Mexico. It is found near large bodies of open water with an abundant food supply and old-growth trees for nesting.

The adult Bald Eagle is mainly brown with a white head and tail. The sexes are identical in plumage, but females are larger than males. The beak is large and hooked. The plumage of the immature is brown. Bald Eagles are not actually bald, the name derives from the older meaning of the word, "white headed".

Bald Eagle Feathers

Leonard, my apprentice is even helping me gather my reference materials.

The feathers will be used as my studies in order to create realistic clay feathers for the Bald Eagle clay sculpture.

Eagle, hawk, owl, and all other raptor or bird of prey feathers are illegal to buy, sell, or even possess (in the USA), for anyone who's not a tribal elder enrolled in a tribe of Native Americans.

Yes these feathers are faux, they are imitation bald eagle feathers made from white turkey feathers.
