Swoosh! A shadow dives toward the water at 100 miles per hour. Splash! Talons grab a fish and lift it into the sky. It's a bald eagle! If your child has ever looked up and wondered about America's national bird, this book shows them the real story. Bald eagles aren't just symbols on coins and flags. They're fierce hunters with grip strength of 400 pounds, eyes that can spot a rabbit from two miles away, and a comeback story that proves people can make a difference. ""The Nature Kid's Guide to Bald Eagles"" is written for curious kids ages 7-12 who want to know what makes these birds so incredible. Why do eagles lock talons and spin toward the ground during their sky dance? How can they see fish swimming underwater while soaring high above? What happened in the 1960s that almost made them disappear forever? Your child will uncover the answers and want to share them at dinner. Clear sentences and amazing facts make every page rewarding. Your child will learn about nests that weigh two tons and get used for over 30 years, fuzzy gray eaglets that gain six ounces every day, and parents that take turns warming eggs with a special brood patch.
