Is happy time when our favorite visitors come to take a bath and eat their favorite fish. Arvin Conservancy is a habitat for our national bird  the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), is the only eagle unique to North America. There are two subspecies of bald eagles. The “southern” bald eagle, Haliaeetus leucocephalus leucocephalus, is found in the Gulf States from Texas and Baja California across to South Carolina and Florida, south of 40 degrees north latitude. The “northern” bald eagle, Haliaeetus leucocephalus alascanus, is found north of 40 degrees north latitude across the entire continent. The largest numbers of northern bald eagles are in the Northwest, especially in Alaska. The “northern” bald eagle is slightly larger than the “southern” bald eagle.
