I’m an Eagle




 I’m an eagle

I’m a bird that takes to the skies 

I fly with great dignity 

Tremendous pride

Mighty strength 

I’m impressive 

I’m a raptor

I have a distinctive look

I have brown plumage 

I have a yellow beak

Piercing eyes and 

A white colored head 

For which I’m known as a bald eagle

I have a large wing span and can fly up to 40 miles per hour in flight

I am found by the sea coast of villages, towns and cities 

I habitat in North America in the United States, Canada and Mexico 

I can be seen by the shoreline 

In the sky

Over the water’s edge 

It’s quite a sight seeing me swoop down while in mid flight to catch fish

I rely mostly on fish for my meals 

Sometimes other birds too 

Even rabbits and other small mammals 

I am often depicted on coins, stamps, paintings and in magazines 

I am a symbol for the United States 

The presidential seal features the bald eagle 

The eagle is a majestic bird 

A beautiful bird

A bird that once faced extinction 

Now is protected and is no longer endangered 

Laws were passed to protect the eagle

The bald eagle 

The golden eagle 

We must always remember to protect these amazing birds in addition to all animals that face extinction 

Eagles are solitary birds and prefer to live alone 

They like to nest in tall trees and away from developed areas

They prefer the quiet and quaint fishing towns

The eagle has a life expectancy in the wild of 20 years and can live to 30 or longer in protected habitats. 


Eagles are represented as mascots for sports teams 


Philadelphia Eagles 


Eagles are depicted in organizations 


Eagle Scouts 


Eagles are represented in film and books and are a symbol for freedom.


Eagles are ready to start their own family nest at age 5 and they learn to provide a loving home for their young 


The life of an eagle is precious and a true blessing 


It is breathtaking to see an eagle spread its wings and fly overhead 


If you see me in mid air or diving to the sea grab your camera to take a picture to remember the scene for it is truly special 


You will always remember it because it’s not everyday you see an eagle


I know this because 


I’m an eagle

I’m a Pig

I’m a Pig Everyone thinks I’m sloppy and dirty on the farm. You’d be surprised to know that I’m actually a very clean animal. You probably are wondering if I’m a clean animal why do I roll around in the mud.  The simple reason is on hot days I have trouble with my body temperature and I can get overheated or burn in the sun.  On the farm to cool off we roll around in the mud which helps us deal with the heat.  We also need activities that help us during the day and playing in the mud allows us some fun with our friends and we can stay cool.  Farmers see that we have adequate mud pits as part of our care and water sprinklers to help us on hot summer days for dealing with the heat and in helping us get clean.  They feed us corn, nuts, fruits, berries grains, vegetables, dairy and some meats.  Pigs also need a plentiful supply of water.  Pigs also need to be visited by the veterinarian to make sure they’re in good health and managing well in the heat....

I’m a Penguin

I’m a Penguin They call us Emperor. We are used to making long treks in the cold winters on the icy waters that are frozen over when it’s time to search for food as we leave our mate and chicks behind.  The hardest part of our long anticipated journey is the separation from our family and facing the cold biting wind and heavy snows that makes the hundred mile trek near impossible but our only chance at survival is to forge through as we must overcome the obstacles so we can feed ourselves and everyone in the family. At least I’m accompanied by many friends as I’m never alone.  We line in formation as we navigate the difficult terrain supporting each other and reminding all why we must endure the elements to ensure our success. We are built for these challenges and rather adept at walking long distances though we’re unable to flap our wings and fly. We also enjoy sliding on the ice on our bellies to keep our spirits up and to go further, faster and harder. To many we’re loud as...

I’m a Seal

Image
I’m a Seal I live in the icy cold waters of the Arctic Ocean while other seals live in the Antarctic Ocean. They are the coldest of all the oceans of the world. Some seals live in the warm Pacific Ocean in California and Hawaii. Seals love the water and usually swim on the surface of the ocean exposing their heads with their bodies submerged as they flap. They are able to swim by moving their rear flippers back and forth.  Seals eat all kinds of sea life including fish, crustaceans, squid, octopus and sometimes even penguins.  Seals live in colonies that can support hundreds and some even thousands of seals.  There are over 30 species of seals in the world.  Although seals live in colonies they hunt for food on their own so they are considered solitary animals as well.  They huddle in groups in the ocean and on land sunbathing or seeking a mate and are very nurturing of their young.  On land seals flop on their bellies to move forward.  Female seals nu...
