The Sea Eagle
There is an eagle nesting on the tree top near my grandparent’s house in Pangandaran. It was a
sea eagle.
The color of its feathers is light brown. It has a strong and sharp yellowish beak. Its claws are
very sharp. It hunts for fish in the sea but sometimes it hunts chickens
and small birds.
Eagles have many sizes, shapes, and colors, but the sea eagle is
easy to recognize because it has a strong a streamlined, sharp beak
and a stream-line body.
Its forelimbs (or arms) serve as wings. This means that they are of
little use for anything except flying. It walkson two legs and has a very
flexible neck and strong beak to handle foods, to care for its feathers,
and for many other jobs that non-flying animals do with paws, claws,
or hands on their forelimbs.
