Eaglepedia Revisited May 2, 2008 Wing Displays: Wing movements are part of a bald eagle's body language. During food squabbles, a bald eagle may raise its outstretched wings in a threatening gesture, or it may drape them around its food, protecting a contested morsel with a behavioral pose called "mantling". While perching in a tree, a bald eagle often unfold and extends its wing in an activity known as "sunning", to take full advantage of the sun's warming rays. ![]() Shade "mantle" (PH 2008 Harpo) - Food "mantle" (WE 2007 Cumbrians) ![]() Heidi "drying" after rain (2007 Steffani) - ![]() A63/Limuw defends against intruder (2007 - Cumbrians / Robert) "Field Guide to the Bald Eagle" AND December 20, 2006 Eagles expend a tremendous amount of energy flying and hunting and must spend a lot of time resting. It's estimated that only one out of eighteen attacks are successful. Though not as fast as falcons, bald eagles are fast fliers. When diving, where lift is less important than reaching drag, the eagle pulls in its wings to minimize their surface area. Bald eagles have been seen hunting in pairs. An eagle protects its food by partially opening its wings, or mantling or tenting. An eagle will hold its prey with one talon, tearing off bites with its beak, eating about one pound of fish in about four minutes! http://www.baldeagleinfo.com/eagle/eagle3.html Visit Eaglepedia DISCLAIMER: Information here has been gathered in good faith from the internet and cannot be guaranteed to be totally accurate. |

EVERY Day when I open up the forum and read the Nest Adoption Challenge posting, I am awestruck by the creativity and individuality of each of the talented NAC volunteers and the knowledge (sometimes 'reminders' / sometimes new info) that they share with us daily. I know that we will be treated to this daily 'show' for only the next 2 weeks and I'm sure that I will not be the only one that will be suffering from "empty NAC syndrome" This is one of my favorite 'sayings' and it fits perfectly: Give people a fact or an idea and you enlighten their minds; tell them a story and you touch their souls. ~Hasidic proverb THANK YOU, NAC for your facts, your ideas, and most importantly, the stories you weave!
