Golden Eagle
The Golden eagle is North America's largest bird of prey. It can grow to a length of 3 feet, with a wingspan of 6 to 7 feet. Its plumage is dark brown with flecks of gold colouring around the head and neck. They have brown eyes, a yellow beak and talons that grow to 3 inches. Females can get to mass of 3-7 kg and Males can only get to 3.6 kg.
They build large nest in cliffs and other high places. Females lay up to 4 eggs, then they incubate them for six weeks. They are extremely swift, and can dive upon their quarry at speeds of more than 150 miles per hour. Golden eagles are carnivore, they use their sharp talons to snatch up rabbits, ground squirrels, reptile, birds and fish.

ReplyDeleteIt's so nice to see you doing some work from home. Remember last year we discussed paraphrasing our research and re-writing facts in our own words? What would improve your post is if you rewrote the information in your own words.
What do you like best about the Golden Eagle?

I love eagles too. They are fascinating creatures. I know you are capable of understanding what you are researching so you should be able to then re-write that information in your own words. It is really important to use your own voice and not copy someone else's words. Your readers want to hear how YOU explain information.
