Do bald eagles migrate in winter?

Bald eagles typically do not migrate like some other bird species. While some populations may exhibit partial local movements in response to changes in food availability or weather conditions, most bald eagles remain within their range throughout the year. Their adaptation of large wings and specialized feathers enables them to endure and cope with varied temperature changes within their territories. They have developed strategies like adjusting their foraging behavior, choosing sheltered roosting sites, and regulating their body heat effectively to survive colder seasons in their preferred habitats
