Birds: Bald Eagle

Having slowly made a comeback with the help of many reintroduction programs, the nation's symbol can now be spotted along the entire length of the Appalachian Trail. Immature bald eagles have dusky head and tail feathers and a dark beak. The tail of the similarly-colored golden eagle has a distinctive white band.
