Bald Eagle There were two subspecies of bald eagles. The Southern bald eagle, Haliaeetus leucocephalus leucocephalus, and the Northern bald eagle, Haliaeetus leucocephalus alascanus (also known as H. l. Washingtoniensis). However, this classification of northern and southern eagles has now been discontinued in recent years and just the one classification, Haliaeetus leucocephalus is used for all bald eagles today. The reason for this re-classification is that studies over a long period of time showed that the Northern bald eagle was seen to fly south and settle and the Southern bald eagle was seen in the North also to settle.The bald eagle, both male and female, has a distinctive white head, neck and tail with a yellow beak and feet. The body feathers are a dark brown, nearly black. Young eagles, called eaglets, have a mixture of brown and white all over with a black beak. Adult plumage doesn't develop fully until the eagle reaches sexual maturity usually at around five years old. That's when the beak changes to bright yellow and the feathers become the normal dark brown colour. The head, neck and tail also turn fully white at this age.
