RE: The Birds at Conowingo Dam in March: Bald Eagles, Blue Herons, and Seagulls

Good catch. I had to look it up, too!

According to Brave Search, the word, 'Balde' referred to white or shiny in old English - especially a white or shiny patch or spot. It evolved later to drop the 'e' at the end, and to mean hairless.

I don’t know much about birds, so when I first heard the name, I pictured this smooth bald pink-headed bird with a bird's body with feather.🤣🤣🤣
