As America’s national wildlife symbol, the bald eagle is an immediately recognizable raptor with a wingspan of 6 to 7 feet. This large eagle was photographed near the Missouri River on a cold winter morning.
An ibis is a wading bird that belongs to the family of ibises and spoonbills. Ibises inhabit salt marshes, swamps, areas near the lakes and rivers, tropical mangroves, forests and marshy mountain meadows where they walk slowly with their heads down probing the muddy surface for insects and crustaceans.
The Mourning Dove is different from other doves primarily because of its pointed tail with large white spots. It has a hollow, mournful song and its range extends from southeast Alaska to Panama. It lives primarily in farmland, towns, open woods and grasslands.
