Alaskan Eagles II
Copyright Barbara Samuelson 1997
Eagle in flight over Sitka, Alaska.
ea·gle (ź¹gel) noun - Any of various large diurnal
birds of prey of the family Accipitridae, including members of the
genera Aquila and Haliaeetus, characterized by a powerful hooked bill,
keen vision, long broad wings, and strong, soaring flight.
The eagle became the National emblem in 1782 when the
great seal of the United States was adopted. The eagle was chosen
because of its long life, great strength and majestic looks, and also
because it was then believed to exist only on this continent. Bald

shots of mature and juvenile bald eagles are from Sitka, Alaska. They
are feeding on salmon and halibut in the rocks, thrown there by a commercial
fisherman. At one point there were 15 eagles surrounding a discarded hailbut
head and backbone. Click on the thumbnail for the full sized image. Please
