Astoria AN D TO W IN G The Great Seal can be found on the back of a dollar bill. A bald eagle’s long, broad wings make them good at soaring through the air. On long flights, eagles rarely flap their wings. Instead, they use thermal updrafts. Thermal updrafts are currents of warm air that rise up from the ground. Eagles save energy by flying high in a thermal updraft and then gliding down to catch the next one. Eaglets – Awwwwwww! Eagle chicks are brown and white. The female lays one to three eggs. The eggs take between one to one and a half months to hatch. The male and female take turns sitting on the eggs. After hatching, both the male and female feed the hatchlings until they learn to fly. Eaglets are capable of flying at 10 to 12 weeks old. Eaglets don’t develop their normal white heads and tails until they are four to five years old. In the wild, eagles can live to be 35 years old or more. What People Say Select one article from today’s newspaper. Highlight or underline all of the quotes in the article.
