Today I Learned …

The word “bald”, as in “bald eagle”, has nothing to do with hair or lack of it. The name of the bald eagle was derived from the word “piebald”, because of the difference in color between the white feathers on their heads and tails and the darker feathers on their bodies.

Bonus fact (because it’s a holiday): Most bald eagles snore.

Happy Fourth of July, everybody!
