THE EAGLE Symbol of excellence




Hi everyone, the weekend is over, so let's continue tomorrow with classes. Well, now I'm writing about eagles. It's a book I bought to know about eagles. It says like this.

For many centuries the eagles had been considered as a symbol and emblem of power, value, nobility and excellence. Almost 50 different species belong to the falcon's family(accipitridas o falconiformes). They are in almost all the world except at the Antartida and New Zeland. They are in danger of extinction. The species who are in danger of extinction is the bald eagle, not because it is bald, but for the white color on its head when the eagle becomes an adult. It has its body marroon and the head and tail are white. Its scientific name is Haliaeetu leucocephalfus. This bald eagle use to eat mainly fish.

In the year of 1782, the United States Congress approved a resolution to turn the bald eagle into the official emblem of that great nation.

Other of the eagle's species found in the United States of America is the golden eagle. Its scientific name is chrsaetos eagle. Its color is marroon and it has gold spots on its head and on its neck. That's why it is called like that.

When the Bible mentions the eagle it is refered to the golden eagle. It is considered the fastest of all, once it can get velocities of 225 kilometer per hour. The eagles get its food only when it is hungry. They don't kill animals just for pleasure. They live near lakes or places like rivers because most of the times they eat fish. The salmon is the white eagle's favorite fish. In Alaska, Canada and in the United States, there are a lot of white eagles.

The emblem of Mexico presents an eagle with a cactus under its feet and with its claws and heels it is getting a snake. The golden eagle is our national bird.

In the Bible, frequently, God uses the eagle's figure to refer himself as the one who cares, provides and protects his sons. The eagle is a solitary bird it doesn' fly in flocks except in special cases where there are a lot of fish to catch. The eagle believers live solitary lives, they live apart from other persons and they are just dedicated to God's service.

Ok guys, I'm going to stop here. This was just the introduction of the book. On the next blog I will write about the eagle's nest. It's already 1:00 a.m. and I'm sleepy. See you tomorrow bye.
