Bird of Washington

Audubon's mystery eagle, named for George Washington.

About the bird of washington

Audubon believed he had found a new species of giant eagle and named it after George Washington. He gave it plate 11, near the start of the book.

No such species is recognised today. The bird is now generally taken to be a young bald eagle, which is dark all over until it is four or five years old.

Based on plate 11 of Audubon's The Birds of America.
