We see a lot of birds at our school. Some birds we see are blue jays,
robins, and hawks. What is your favorite type of bird? My
favorite bird is a bald eagle. That's our nation's bird. What

THE BALD EAGLE
The national bird of America |
|
The Bald Eagle is the national bird of America. The
bald eagle is a symbol of courage and power. The length of the eagle
is about three feet. The wingspread is about seven feet. It's
not really bald, but has white feathers on its head.

My favorite native bird is the bald eagle. Some interesting facts about
the bald eagle are, they are the United States national bird, they have a
wingspan of seven feet, and their body is less than forty inches. Bald
eagles eat fish from streams and lakes. They also steal fish from ospreys
and seagulls.

My favorite bird is the Bald Eagle because I think it is neat the way they
catch their prey. they like to eat fish, aquatic birds, and mammals. They
are very big and have claws. Bald Eagles have great eyesight and color
vision. Their wingspan is more than two meters wide which is about
seventy-six inches in height. Bald Eagles are America’s country bird.

The Eastern Goldfinch
The state bird of New Jersey |
|
The Eastern Goldfinch is my favorite bird. It is also the New Jerseys
state bird. This bird lays six to four eggs a year . The male bird is
bright yellow and has a black forehead. It has white edges on black wings
and tail, and yellow at the bend of the tail. The female is duller and
grayer with black wings, tail, and white wing bars. I often see the
Eastern Goldfinch in my yard. As I am walking or riding my bike it flashes
by me through the air like a piece of gold!

The Eastern Goldfinch is the New Jersey state bird. Its color is gold with
black and white feathers. It is smaller than a sparrow. Its habitat is
brushy thickets, weedy grasslands, and nearby trees. It lays 4-5 pale blue
eggs. Sometimes I see one on our bird feeder. That is why I think Eastern
Goldfinches are cool.

Red-Tailed Hawk
|
|
The Red-Tailed Hawk is a large raptor,also known as a Chicken Hawk. The
Red-Tailed Hawk is the most common hawk in North America. They eat small
animals, rodents, rabbits,snakes and other birds. This bird is very
widespread and lives in places such as swamps, deserts, and open fields.
The average size of a Red-Tailed Hawk is 20 inches and 21/2 pounds with a
wingspan of 4-41/2 feet. You can identify this bird by it’s brown/ gray
body, white chest and square cut tail feathers. I hope this bird never
becomes extinct.
