How do you know its not Canadian. /s

Because it’s an American bald eagle, I never heard of a Canadian bald eagle. Lol

HELL YES BROTHER!!!!

I guess it is kind of fitting for the United States national bird! “The bare-ankled bald eagles are a type of sea eagle that diverged from the African vulture lineage only a few million years ago. Although they may at times hunt, they retain the vulture's ability to survive an entire lifetime on rancid, decaying flesh.” https://www.americanscientist.org/article/beauty-is-only-feather-deep

Canada is 'Merika, guys

Shame the US never picked something awesome like the Golden Eagle. Anyone who's lived where bald eagles frequent knows theyre mostly just scavengers. Pretty scavengers, but scavengers nonetheless.

Howdy! It’s just called a bald eagle. It is the national bird (and a symbol) of the USA, but its range is pretty much all of North America. Here’s the range map: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Bald_Eagle/maps-range.

There's a lot of these where I live. They congregate here during the winter... I am in Canada and have never heard to it referred to as an American bald eagle here. Just Bald eagles. [brackendale eagle count] https://www.squamishenvironment.ca/programs/winter-eagle-count/

They're really fishers, but that's a hard life in the 21st century. Since they're basically reversed like Gods in the US, they have no fear of humans, and consequently don't mind scavenging a meal.

Merica fuck yeah!

It's just Bald Eagle. When you said American Eagle, I just thought you meant the clothing store. I was very confused until I saw the picture 😂

We have more Bald Eagles in Western Canada than your entire country. IT’S OUR BIRD NOW

Was coming to say this. American eagle? So where’s the American rats, American donkeys and American snails. Ow only eagles are American. And the flag too ?

>they're basically reversed like Gods in the US, they have no fear of humans, and consequently don't mind scavenging a meal.

It isnt scavenging food from people that I was referring to though. Regardless of the revere for them it's simply in their nature to scavenge another animals kill. They only fish when they have to

I’m in the US and the only “American Eagle” I’ve heard of is a clothing brand….

We got tons of bald eagles here in Canada. I've never asked one of them for their passport or ID, so not really sure what their nationality is.

^ this guy british columbias

A Gosling for all the eagles…fair deal

Much like the US, eagles also steal prey from other fishing raptors like osprey.
