Eagles

This is a Bald Eagle, commonly found in Silvertring.  The Bald Eagle is a large bird, with a body length of 70–102 centimeters (28–40 in), a wingspan of up to 2.44 m and a mass of 2.5–7 kilograms; females are about 25 percent larger than males.The Bald Eagle's diet is opportunistic and varied, but most feed mainly on fish.Bald Eagles are ready for mating at four or five years of age. When they are old enough to breed, they often return to the area where they were born. Because of human invasion these birds are facing extinction, however those in Silvertring are bred with greater care.
