Another part to my series, Bird of the Alphabet.
No personal photos to share of the next bird on my list ~ EAGLE
Would love to photograph an eagle. They are spectacular in my opinion. Maybe one day.
Learned a ton, once again, about these amazing birds.
Eagles are often informally divided into four groups.
1. Fish Eagles: Sea eagles or fish eagles take fish as a large part of their diets, either fresh or as carrion.
2. Booted Eagles: Booted eagles or “true eagles” have feathered tarsi (lower legs).
3. Snake Eagles: Snake or serpent eagles are, as the name suggests, adapted to hunting reptiles.
4. Harpy eagles or “giant forest eagles” are large eagles that inhabit tropical forests. The group contains two to six species, depending on the author. Although these birds occupy similar niches, and have traditionally been grouped together, they are not all related: the solitary eagles are related to the black-hawks, and the Philippine eagle to the snake eagles.
I had no idea there were this many eagles. Amazing to learn so much about nature. Would love to be able to soar as high as an eagle, right!

They are indeed majestic. I like the Blackhawk the more. But somehow, they’re a threat to chickens, puppies and kittens.
Our history and science teachers did not teach us well in school because there are so many different types of eagles.
You are right about that one! We are never too old to learn.
my dad nearly swamped a canoe because he saw an eagle!
I probably would have done the same. Such a majestic bird.
it flew right down the river towards us about 5 feet off the water, i could feel the breeze as it flapped its wings.
Oh wow that would be incredible.
other than the fact that the canoe was rocking it was fun
Eagles are majestic birds. One question: to what type of eagles belong the american and canadian bald eagles? If you know, please answer….
Yes they are indeed. Good to see you. They are both from the Bird of Prey species.
That’s so interesting! Eagles are majestic birds.
I would love to see one of these beauties up close.
That was very interesting and to get to know the types of eagles. Only once I did see an eagle flying high up in the sky but I did not stand around too long because I was thinking what if the eagle bombed me and that is one big bird. lol
Thanks, I was amazed at what I learned. Such majestic birds.
It is a stunning bird. I haven’t seen these birds live yet. But I saw some other predators.
Amazing to learn about nature around us.
