Eaglepedia Revisited December 9, 2006 The fastest-growing bird in North America, the bald eagle weighs 4 ounces at birth and can gain 6 ounces a day. The juvenile can be larger than its parents weighing up to 12 pounds, at 3 months of age. The bones of an eagle are hollow and weigh less than half the weight of its feathers. The Bald Eagle is the only bird considered sacred by every North American Indian tribe, revered for its strength, beauty, independence, hunting prowess and the power and height of its flight. http://www.audubonofflorida.org/friendsoftheeagle/facts.html ![]() Visit Eaglepedia DISCLAIMER: Information here has been gathered in good faith from the internet and cannot be guaranteed to be totally accurate. |

Just a heads up - this year in the drawing - if you are contacted by Dr. Sharpe as a winner, you can choose from one of the tours, dvd, nest adoption certificate OR you can pick an item from special eagle items that have been generously donated to help support the Eagle Effort - here's a quick view (photos are clickables) - for more info - visit the 2009 Nest Adoption Challenge Thread (first one on the index page) and have a look for detailed info!
