Bald Eagle

Happy 4th of July from your friends at Wild Birds Unlimited! 🎉🎆🐦 The Bald Eagle 🦅has been the national bird of the United States since 1782. While they're rarely seen in the Rio Grande Valley, a juvenile Bald Eagle was spotted in the area just last Fall! Did you know that Bald Eagles build the largest nests of any North American bird? 🪺 Some nests have been recorded at 10 feet across, 12 feet deep, and weighing up to 2000 pounds, according to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. Happy birding, from the RGV's friendly backyard bird feeding experts! ❤️🐦 #wbumcallen #rgvbirds #backyardbirding #mcallentexas #riograndevalley #Riograndevalleytexas #birding #birds #shoplocal #supportsmallbusinessowners #ZEISS #ZEISSNature #birdwatching
