It is a wonderful thing to see an eagle circle high above us in the sky. Imagine what they can see from way up there! Eagles are strong, beautiful, and fly with great skill.

Some eagles are very big. The leg of a female harpy eagle can be as thick as a child’s wrist. She weighs about 20 pounds, and can snatch a baby sheep from the ground! Males are half that size.

The smallest eagle is the Great Nicobar serpent eagle of India. With its wings spread, it is only three feet wide, and weighs little more than a pound.There are eagles on every continent in the world except Antarctica. You can find eagles in deserts, jungles, swamps, and forests. Some live by the ocean and some live in the mountains.

Eagles eat fish, mammals, and other birds, but it is unusual for other animals to eat them. They are active during the day and sleep at night.
