How does a Bald eagle survive in winter?
ANSWER: Bald Eagles MIGRATE.
Many Bald Eagles migrate south from Canada and Alaska each winter. Bald Eagles eat lots of fish, so they must live near flowing water to survive when it is cold. In Canada and Alaska, the waterways freeze over, and it is difficult to find fish. The birds move south to places like Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin to find unfrozen rivers, lakes, and streams to catch and eat fish. When spring comes, the Eagles make their long journey back home. The Bald Eagles on this website were photographed by Mrs. Burns at the Fox River in Montgomery, Illinois in January 2013.
