A Bald Eagle, a young Bald Eagle was the second bird of prey shown at the Warwick Castle Falconry Show. The falconer explained how a young Bald Eagle like the one at the Warwick Castle Falconry Show, could be mistaken for a Golden Eagle because the feathers on the head of a young Bald Eagle haven't turned to the distinctive white that a mature Bald Eagle displays. Although this is a young balk eagle and not nearly as big as a mature bald eagle it is still a very large bird. Bald eagles are sea birds of prey found primarily in North America, they can have a wingspan over 2 metres and can fly unto 70 km/h. Bald Eagles can live to be 50 or 60 perhaps even 70 years old.
