Walt Disney World is home to a surprising variety of wildlife, and this Fourth of July, one feathered resident is getting a well-deserved moment in the sun: the bald eagle.
Disney offered an official salute to the native bald eagles that make their home at the resort, a nod to both the holiday and the birds of prey that can actually be spotted on Walt Disney World property.
Bald eagles are among the wild birds native to the Central Florida area, and the sprawling resort's natural landscapes provide habitat for a range of local wildlife beyond the usual theme-park attractions.
It's a fun reminder that a trip to Walt Disney World can offer unexpected wildlife encounters alongside the rides and fireworks — especially for guests who keep their eyes on the skies. This Independence Day salute was shared by WDWNT.
