Haliaeetus leucocephalus
An majestic Bald Eagle picks up and carries out an early dinner on the Susquehanna river in late November 2012.
Per Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bald_Eagle Most of North America, including parts of Canada, all of the continental United States, and northern Mexico. The Bald Eagle prefers habitats near seacoasts, rivers, large lakes, oceans, and other large bodies of open water with an abundance of fish. Studies have shown a preference for bodies of water with a circumference greater than 11 km (7 mi), and lakes with an area greater than 10 square kilometers (4 sq mi) are optimal for breeding Bald Eagles.

Congratulations Eric! Your very first spotting on Project Noah has earned you spotting of the day!
The bald eagle is not really bald. "Bald" is from an old English word meaning white. Bald eagles do not attain their white head and tail feathers until their 5th year.
