During the winter, adult and juvenile bald eagles are perched in a tree near Beaver Cove of Northern Vancouver Island. The bald eagle is a beautiful bird of prey that lives in North America.

This winter animal scene near Beaver Cove has several bald eagles perched in a tree. The bald eagles are both adults and juveniles. The juveniles are still completely covered in brown feathers. The beautiful markings of the adults are their distinct white heads and tail feathers. The male and females have the same coloration but the females can be as much as 25% larger than the males.
