Bald Eagle in nest.
A large blackish bird being 30 to 31 inches tall with a 6 to 7 foot wingspan. It is distinguished by it's white head and tail with a heavy yellow bill. Young Bald Eagles lack the white head and tail and resemble an adult Golden Eagle but are variably marked with white and have a more massive black bill.
They inhabit lakes, rivers, marshes and seacoasts.
Though previously more widespread they currently range from Alaska east to Newfoundland and south to California east through the Great Lakes and to Virginia. They can also be found in Arizona and along the Gulf Coast including Florida.

Great Blue Heron.
Between 39 to 52 inches long with a wingspan of around 5 feet 10 inches. A common, large mainly grayish heron with a pale or yellowish colored bill. It is often mistaken for a Sandhill Crane but flies with its neck folded and not extended like the Sandhill Crane. In southern Florida an all-white form, the "Great White Heron", differs from the Great Egret in that they are larger with greenish-yellow legs rather than the black legs of the Great Blue Heron.
Their habitat includes lakes, ponds, rivers and marshes.
They breed locally from coastal Alaska, south-central Canada and Nova Scotia south to Mexico and the West Indies. Winters as far north as southern Alaska, central United States and southern New England. Also in the Galapagos Islands.
