Zoology: Bones

This talon is the perfect companion to our bald eagle skull, BC-068. Native to North America, and our national symbol, the bald eagle's wingspan can reach over 7 feet. Primarily fish eaters, they will also eat other birds and rodents. Even though they are migratory birds, they will stay in one location if they have access to a large body of water (an ocean or lake), provided adequate food and nesting trees are available. Once on the brink of extinction with only 800 breeding pairs, their numbers have been increasing steadily, now with close to 3000 breeding pairs. We gratefully acknowledge and thank the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History, Vertebrate Zoology section for lending us this fine specimen from their extensive collection.
