The bald eagle is predominately blackish-brown in color, with mature adults bearing a white head and tail.  Males have a length of 30 to 34 inches and a wingspan of 72 to 85 inches; females are slightly larger.  Bills are yellow and massively-built.  Juvenile birds resemble adult [[golden eagles]] (''Aquila chrysaetos''), and do not gain their white plumage until their fourth or fifth year.

Bald eagles are monogamous, and mate for life. Up to three eggs are laid each year in a large nest; the nest in fact, due to its being added-to every year, is the largest nest constructed by any North American bird species, and may weigh in excess of three tons.  Both parents rear the chicks.
