The Bald Eagle: Canada's Largest Bird of Prey

Bald eagles are found across Canada, thriving on the country's Pacific coast in particular. The Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife considers the bald eagle to not be at risk.

Bald eagles prefer to nest in large trees near isolated, well-stocked bodies of water. Their nests are among the largest in the world, sometimes several metres in height. Here, the mating couple, which usually bonds for life, will raise an average of two eaglets per breeding cycle. Although bald eagle populations are stable or increasing in most parts of Canada,their survival is still threatened by deforestation and the persistence of pollutants in the food chain.
