Brass Bald Eagle Christmas Tree Ornament

Brass "BALD EAGLE" Christmas Tree Ornament

The Bald Eagle is the symbol of the United States as well as its national bird. It is a bird of prey found in North America, Canada and northern Mexico near large open bodies of water with lots of fish. Eagles have large, powerful hooked beaks and talons as well as strong legs and sharp eyesight which enables them to spot prey from far away. Their average wingspan is 66-88 inches with the female being about 25% larger than the male.

The adult bald eagle has a white head and tail and a brown body. Bald eagles prefer to nest in old-growth hardwood trees that are isolated and close to the water. The Bald Eagle builds nests out of branches up to 13 ft. deep, 8 ft. wide and 1.1 ton in weight which are used year after year. At one time the bald eagle was near extinction in the continental U.S. but since it has been increasing in numbers it has been removed from the U.S. Federal Government's list of endangered species.

Buy this keepsake ornament for a unique gift for any bald eagle collector.
