THE BEAUTIFUL EAGLE

From CHARLENE DALTON

ESPECIALLY FOR GERALD















When it rains, most birds head for shelter; the eagle is the only bird that, in order to avoid the rain, starts flying above the clouds.

An amazing tidbit about the eagle's eyesight: the eagle can probably identify a rabbit moving almost a mile away. That means that an eagle flying at an altitude of 1000 feet over open country could spot prey over an area of almost 3 square miles from a fixed position.

WOW! And to think Ben Franklin wanted the turkey to be the national Bird!
