Bald Eagles

Last year we went to Homosassa Springs, Florda

 Last summer for vacation we took a family trip to Florda. We went to Disney World, Coco Beach, and Homosassa Springs, a Florida state park. At Homosassa Springs we saw lots of animals. The bald eagle was one of many different kinds of birds we saw. These pictures of bald eagles were ones we took when we were there.

 Bald eagles are very reconized birds. They have white necks, heads, and tails, yellow beaks and feet, and the rest is brown. The female will lay one to three white eggs, when she is old enough and is ready to start laying. Male and female eagles are great parents, as great and faithfull partners. They prefer to eat fish.

The bald eagle is one kind of eagle. Eagles in general are a symbol of power and strength, usally depicted fighting a serpent, the symbol of evil. In World War II, the day that the Germans were to begin their air attack on Britain was called Adlertag, or "eagle day." 

The bald eagle is the United States' national bird and is also on the American seal.
