3. Bald eagle

The bald eagle is unique to North America. It was once close to becoming extinct, but efforts from animal lovers saved this glorious bird of prey, and the wildlife authorities removed the eagle from the endangered species list in 2007. Bald eagles are large birds that can grow up to three feet tall and have a wingspan of seven to eight feet. Adult bald eagles have white tails, white heads, dark brown feathers, and yellow feet and beaks. Bald eagles usually prefer living near water bodies and build their nests in the trees. Their favorite food is fish, which they catch with their strong talons.

4. Golden eagle

The golden eagle is more of a predator and less of a scavenger. Golden eagles search for their prey by flying over the lower slopes and watching the prey from high perches. When they spot the prey, they plunge to capture it in their talons. They regularly prey on cranes and foxes. The magnificent golden eagle is commonly found in Europe, Asia, and North America and holds significance among North American tribes, who believe it has mystical powers. The bird usually resides in the foothills, open countries, and open mountains.

5. Harpy eagle

The harpy eagles are the largest and most influential of all the eagles. Just the rear talon of this eagle is about four inches long, the same size as a grizzly bear’s claws. Harpy eagles are around one meter in length and have a wingspan of two meters. They usually inhabit southern Mexico and northern Argentina. Harpy eagles bring green twigs and branches to the nest after the birth of their chick. The fresh twigs help keep parasites and insects away and provide a calm environment for the nestling. Sadly, harpy eagles are disappearing due to poaching and habitat loss.

6. Wedge-tailed eagle

The wedge-tailed eagle, commonly found in the coastal and alpine regions, is one of the most common species of eagle. It has characteristic long, wedge-shaped legs and tail that have feathers all the way to the base of the toes. The eagle is reddish brown to dark brown. Its bill is cream or pale pink, the feet are off-white, and the eyes are brown to dark brown. They turn black for at least ten years of life. Now that’s one unique feature!

7. White-tailed eagle

The white-tailed eagle is a huge eagle with a wingspan of over eight feet. The eagle became extinct in England in the 1910s. The plan to reintroduce the white-tailed eagle has not been successful because of the theft of its eggs by the locals. The meager population of the white-tailed eagle now thrives only in Scotland’s highlands and islands. These birds mostly prefer the sea lochs to the exposed coastal regions. They also nest in trees rather than on cliffs and feed on seabirds, fish, and ducks.

8. Philippine eagle

The Philippine eagle is one of the largest birds of prey. It is also famous as the monkey-eating eagle because it preys on monkeys, besides pigs, rodents, and monitor lizards. These eagles inhabit the region of Mount Apo in Mindanao. The bird is now close to extinction, primarily because of illegal logging in the country. In light of this and to create awareness, the government of the Philippines made it the national bird.

9. Crowned eagle

The crowned eagle is the most powerful eagle in Africa. It is a colorful bird with black or dark brown wings and cream-colored breast with black barring or mottling. Its tail has three black bands, and its rounded wings have white undersides. The crowned eagle is quite a vocal bird–it produces far-carrying calls during flights and also uses its shrill voice to send warning signals. The bird is also a formidable predator–it can kill prey up to several times its weight.

10. Martial eagle

Martial eagles are the largest of all the African eagles. They are incredibly powerful and can easily knock an adult person off their feet or break their arms. Martial eagles weigh almost 6.5 kilograms and have a wingspan of about six feet. They are dark brown with black streaks and have very large talons. Martial eagles feed on mammals like antelopes and Hyrax. They spend much of their time on the wings and usually soar about the hill slopes, often invisible to the naked eye.

11. Black eagle

Black Eagles are large, forest-dwelling eagles found along a range spanning from Pakistan to the Malay Peninsula. As the name indicates, black eagles are entirely black with yellow feet and brown eyes. The beak of the black eagle is yellow to gray, with a black tip. Black eagles usually occupy the evergreen, lowland, and Montana forests, around 4000 meters above sea level. Black eagles often prey on rats, squirrels, frogs, reptiles, bats, and some birds. They hunt by soaring over creeks, rivers, ridges, and forests.

12. Booted eagle

The booted eagle is a stocky and small eagle with heavily feathered legs and a round head. It occurs in two colors, light brown and dark brown.  It feeds on reptiles, mammals, and small birds. This species of bird is migratory, but its population in the northern Balearic Islands is somewhat permanent. The booted eagles reside in a broad range of habitats, such as deserts, woodlands, and plantations. They usually live in Asia, North Africa, and Europe.

13. Tawny eagle

Tawny eagles are large, handsome birds of prey with heavily feathered legs. They are generally rusty brown, with dark marks on the wings. These eagles can, however, vary in terms of size, color, and markings. They soar high in the sky or stay on top of trees, watching the ground for prey. These birds can tackle large hares and mice easily.

14. Steller’s sea eagle

Steller’s sea eagle is one of the largest eagles that preys on fish. They are native to eastern Russia and mostly inhabit the estuaries and coastal cliffs from where they can access fishing territories. They mainly feed on salmon, which they catch by swooping from the lurches located by the sea’s edge. This large, blackish-brown bird has an enormous yellow bill, and the feathers on its legs, tails, and shoulders are white.

15. Crescent serpent eagle

The crescent serpent eagle is a medium-sized eagle found throughout Indochina and southern Asia. These eagles are dark brown and have a light brown underside. They have white streaks or spots on the wings. The crescent-shaped eagles are found in habitats like mangrove swamps, ravines, evergreen forests, rainforests, and deciduous forests.

17. Marahute

Here’s a coloring page of Marahute, a giant female golden eagle from the Disney feature film “Rescuers Down Under.” Marahute is a kind and gentle giant eagle whose massive wings once knocked Cody off a tall cliff, well almost. She is a hybrid of a golden eagle and a wedge-tailed eagle. She has a slender build with ruby-red eyes, golden wings, a yellow beak, and white head, legs, and body.
