If a person who wears a balaclava or a helmet in to a bank or any other building, or even on the floor of the court, they must be removed. â , Fortune, âShe Has Sought to Mockâ Islam: Australian Senator Rebuked For Burqa Stunt, 17 Aug. 2017.
The bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) , our national bird,is the only eagle unique to North America. The bald eagle's scientific name signifies a sea (halo) eagle (aeetos) with a white (leukos) head. At one time, the word bald meant white, not hairless. Bald eagles are found throughout most of North America, from Alaska and Canada to northern Mexico. About half of the world's 70,000 bald eagles live in Alaska.
In a national effort to save the iconic bird, the federal government banned the use of DDT in 1972 and placed the bald eagle under protection of the Endangered Species Act, which allowed the government to protect bald eagle habitat. These two key factors helped it recover, according to the Fish and Wildlife Service. Bald eagles can live more than 30 years in the wild, longer in captivity. 2  They mate for life, building nests in the tops of large trees. 3  Bald eagles normally lay two or three eggs once a year. 4  The distinctive white head and tail feathers appear only after the bird is 4 or 5 years old.
