I am learning to write an information report
Imagine you’re a fish swimming happily and suddenly, you're flying in mid air, then everything goes black. You have just become a bald eagle’s dinner. The bald eagle can be found in North America, which allows it to feed on many fresh fish from the rivers and lakes across the region. The Bald Eagle is a national symbol of America. This giant bird once was endangered in 1967, but luckily nowadays has recovered and can still be seen flying across the skies of America. So what can you expect to see if a Bald Eagle was flying above you? 
Features
The name bald eagle would suggest that they are bald, however they are not. The female bald eagle is larger than the male. The female is 89-93 centimeters and has a wingspan 2-2.28 meters and the male is 76-86 centimeters and a wingspan of 1.82-2.15. It has long talons so it doesn’t touch the water and grab a fish. The bald eagle can glide up to a amazing speed of 160km so it’s faster than a car on the motorway. It weighs up to three to seven kg, like a pumpkin. Bald eagles have a hooked beak so their food doesn't fall out .
Habitat
The bald eagle is found in north america mostly in Baja, California, Florida and Alaska. They can fly up to 56-70 kilometers per hour.It is found near water so that is why it likes to eat fish. They live in tall trees.
Diet
A bald eagle eats fish and other food that is easy to obtain so like small birds and big fish. It can lift 5kgs so it can lift a baby deer that will feed the family for a while. It eats so much fish it has a good source of omega 3. Bald eagles are carnivores so they fight for there food against animals like pelicans.
The bald eagle is a carnivore it eats easy to obtain prey. They have a white head and brown body. So next time you're flying in north America and you see a big bird you could be looking at a bald eagle.
