Look at this majestic bird — it’s an American Eagle, also called a Bald Eagle! It is the national bird of the United States and a symbol of strength and freedom.

Right now, the eagle is perched on a flowering branch. Its back is facing us, but its head is turned to the right, as if it’s about to let out a loud, wild call into the sky!

You can imagine its sharp beak opening wide and its powerful voice echoing across the mountains or rivers. Its feathers are mostly dark brown, but its head and tail are bright white — like it’s wearing a snowy cap and tail coat.

Its strong yellow feet grip the branch tightly, and its sharp eyes watch everything around it.

Eagles love to perch high up where they can see far and wide. They build huge nests, fly gracefully in the sky, and hunt for fish in rivers and lakes.

This eagle looks proud, alert, and free — just like the wild spirit of nature! If you also love this cool eagle, follow today's drawing tutorial to learn how to draw it!
