The Bald Eagle:
The great Bald Eagle is an amazing predator whose image has become synonymous with the notions of freedom, majesty, strength and individualism in North America. Eagles are renowned as much for their hunting skills, speed, and strength as for their striking looks and size. It is a large feathered raptor with white-feathered head and tail, razor-sharp talons and sharp hooked beak, The Bald Eagle’s vision is four times sharper than in humans, and is the key to its hunting abilities.
