Eagle
An eagle may resemble a vulture
in build and flight characteristics but has a fully feathered (often
crested) head and strong feet equipped with great curved talons. A
further difference is in foraging habits: eagles subsist mainly on live
prey. They are too ponderous for effective aerial pursuit but try to
surprise and overwhelm their prey on the ground. Like owls, many
decapitate their kills. Because of their strength, eagles have been a
symbol of war and imperial power since Babylonian times. Their likeness
is found on Greek and Roman ruins, coins, and medals.
Eagles are
monogamous. They mate for life and use the same nest each year. They
tend to nest in inaccessible places, incubating a small clutch of eggs
for six to eight weeks. The young mature slowly, reaching adult plumage
in the third or fourth year.Eagle
