They are spectacular birds. I've been fortunate to see a fair number of these birds in the wild + they never fail to impress! |

Great picture.
How do they compare in size to our own White-Tailed Eagle? |

| Not seen a white tailed eagle up close but would think that the bald eagle is bigger - certainly a very impressive bird up close.

If my memory serves me well, the White-tailed eagle is the larger of the two Quote:

Bald eagles maximum wingspan is around 2.5m whereas the WTS-Eagles' wingspan (in an adult) generally has a minimum size of that amount, and can get up to 3m!
