ALL ABOUT EAGLES
The Bald Eagle is the national bird of the United States of America and is a bird that many people hold dear.
Kids seem drawn to eagles because they are a large and powerful bird. What many kids probably don't know is that there are around 60 different species of eagles. We are used to talking about bald eagles, but that is just one kind of eagle!
