The American bald eagle is both the National Bird and National Animal of the United States of America. It was adopted as the National Bird of the United States of America in 1782. It also appears on most official seals of the U.S. government, including the presidential seal and the presidential flag.
Bald eagles ((Haliaeetus Leucocephalus) are not actually bald, the name derives from an older meaning of the word, "white headed".

I absolutely love animals and wildlife and these photos are great! And who knew the Bison is on the verge of being named the first National Mammal of the United States, you learn something new every day!
ReplyDeleteThanks and yes I am so glad for Bison :)
DeleteThese pictures are phenomenal!! What camera and lens are you using? Especially love the herd of bison and the close up of the bear. Just wow...
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot. I am a Nikon person mostly. Bear and Bison were from Nikon 300S with 200mm lens. I am so glad you liked :)
DeleteThese are very nice animal photos. Where were these taken? Montana or maybe Wyoming? We actually have many wild American Bald Eagles here in Texas, too!
ReplyDeleteBison was from Yellowstone National Park Bald Eagle was from Alaska. Thanks again :)
DeleteAw I just love animals! I love these pictures they are awesome!
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
DeleteBeautiful images! Moose are the most awkward creatures with their long legs. I have had them in my yard here and they are just gigantic, too.
ReplyDeleteIt was an amazing sight to see those Moose on the road at Midnight (it was sunlight at midnight in Alaska)
DeleteWow, these pictures are beautiful and so clear! I absolutely love bison!
ReplyDeleteI love these animals and the pictures make me feel like I am home! It is so pretty! I love the bald eagle. I would have been a little terrified with the moose!
ReplyDeleteYour work is stunning. The bears are something else!
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are amazing! I remember seeing a bald eagle in person for the first time. I was stunned at how big it was!
ReplyDeleteWow amazing photography!! I've never experience the American wildlife in real life but now I really want to. We don't have these wild animals in Denmark. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWildlife have always fascinated me, I love how you captured the essence of each animal; the likable awkwardness of the moose, the inquisitiveness of the bear ect.
ReplyDeleteThe pictures are so unique and amazing. I am an animal and nature lover. You made my day!
ReplyDeleteThese photos are simply incredible! It looks like you got up and close with some of these animals, which also seems a little dangerous?! I love the photo of the animals crossing the river.
ReplyDeleteWow these pictures are so beautiful each one of them a perfect shot. Bison is on the verge of being named the first National Mammal of the United States is something interesting to know. :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutly amazing pictures!I liturally want to reach in to hug that bear!awsome Job!!!
ReplyDeletewow, these are some amazing animals. Bison scare me to death. They're so big and powerful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots captured! Loved your photography! I saw Bald Eagle, Bear, Peta, Tortoise, Giant turtles and many more animals on my last trip to San Diego zoo and Jungle Safari last month! My favorite animal out there was a Giant Panda. It was so cute and adorable!
ReplyDeleteThose are fantastic photos. Frankly speaking ,these pictures that the ones that are the hardest to perfectly capture because these animals can just move without notice. Kudos. - Allan Liwanag
