Bald eagles have talons, a curved beak under their eyes, and eyes for seeing. They live in North America in trees or on tall rocks, eating ducks, swans, and geese. Female eagles lay 1-3 eggs and eaglets hatch in 6 weeks, leaving the nest at 12 weeks, while bald eagles are not truly bald and use wings to swim, often stealing food from other animals.
