SIZE AND WEIGHT . 



In size and wei<;ht, the bald eagle 

 is not greatly diU'erent from the 

 golden eagle, and with the excep- 



tion of the California condor these 

 eagles are the largest birds of prey 

 in North America. Only in the tail, 

 which is somewhat k)nger in the 

 golden eagle, is there a noticeable 

 difference in the dimensions of the 

 two species.
