THE EAGLE: SYMBOL OF EXCELLENCE

Hi everyone, the wekend is over. So classes will continue tomorrow. Well, now I'm writing about eagles. It's a book I bought to know about eagles. Here is my report:

For many centuries, eagles have been considered as a symbol and emblem of power, value, nobility and excellence. Almost 50 different species belong to the falcon's family (accipitridas or falconiformes). They are found almost all the world except in the Antartida and New Zeland. They are in danger of extinction. One of the sepecies that is in danger or 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's body is maroon color and the head and tail are white. It's scientific name is Haliaeetu leucocephalfus. Bald eagles feed mainly on fish.

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

Another of the species of eagle found in the United States of America is the golden eagle. It's scientif name is Chrsaeto eagle. It's color is maroon and it has gold spots on its head and on its neck. That is why is called like that.

When the Bible mentions the eagle it refer to the "golden eagle". It is considered the fastest of all. It can fly as fast as 225 kilometers pere hour. Eagles get their food only when they are 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. There are a lot of white eagles in Alaska, Canada and in the United States.

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

Frequently, in the Bible, 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't fly in flocks except in special cases where there are lots of fish to catch.

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 eaglle's nest. It's already 1:00 a.m. and I'm sleepy. See you tomorrow bye.
