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.
Complete the “On Eagle’s
Wings” math activity to
ind out the height and
wing span of an adult
eagle. Then work with a
partner to measure and
mark these points on the
newspaper sheet.

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.
The scientific name for a bald eagle is Haliaeetus leucocephalus.

A bald eagle isn’t really bald. The name comes from an old
English word, balde, meaning white.
If an eagle loses a feather in one wing,
the matching one on the other wing also
drops of. This keeps the bird in balance.
