Bald eagles are large birds of prey, with wingspans up to 7.5 feet wide, and they're known for their white heads and tails contrasted with dark brown bodies. Their sharp, hooked beaks are yellow, just like their penetrating eyes and powerful claws, known as talons. You might be surprised to know that their 'bald' look is actually due to the white feathers on their heads, which stand out against the rest of their dark feathers.  \nNow that you know how the bald eagle looks, let's explore where they make their homes. These magnificent birds are found throughout most of North America, from Alaska and Canada all the way down to northern Mexico. They love living near rivers, large lakes, and coastal areas because they eat a lot of fish. In fact, they build their nests, which are the largest of any North American bird and can be up to 9 feet wide, high up in tall trees or on cliff edges overlooking water.  \nSpeaking of fish, let's dive into the bald eagle's favorite meal. Fish is the main part of their diet, but they're not picky eaters – they'll also gobble up small mammals, other birds, and even carrion. Bald eagles have an amazing hunting strategy – they swoop down over water at great speed and snatch fish right out with their talons! Sometimes, they even steal food from other birds, which shows just how clever and opportunistic they can be.  \nHaving shared about their eating habits, it's time to talk about their life cycle and relationship with us humans. Bald eagles mate for life, and they return to the same nest each year to lay 1 to 3 eggs, which hatch after about 35 days. Humans and bald eagles have a mixed history-while some people admire their beauty and strength, others see them as competition for fish and game. Despite past threats, such as hunting and pesticide exposure, conservation efforts have helped bald eagle populations recover, and they continue to inspire us with their majestic presence and symbolize freedom in the United States.  \nSolve each problem.  \nUse the article to answer the question.  \n1) What are the nests built by bald eagles known for?  \nA. being made of small logs they carry with their talons  \nB. being underground  \nC. being the largest of any North American bird  \nD. being smaller than the bald eagle itself  \n2) How do bald eagles catch fish?  \nA.
