The immature Bald Eagle and Golden Eagle can be confused since the immature Bald Eagle doesn't yet have the white head. In the U.S their ranges do not overlap. It is a mostly terrestrial bird with unusually long legs and blunt claws. This bird also have two elongated central tail feathers. They catch prey primarily by chasing it, much like the Roadrunner.
Falcons are streamlined birds with pointed wings and longish tails.
They feed primarily on birds, rodents and insects. They are found nearly worldwide. Thanks to Scott Wright for the picture, visit his site via my links page to learn more about these awesome hunters. Falcon hunt primarily by diving on prey from above, often with incredible speed. The eyes of the owl permit telescope vision and detection of very scant amounts of light.
