The bald eagle's niche is to catch fish, reproduce, feed its young, and eat. Eagles are daytime eaters. They fly around in the sky like an acrobatic show. During the night they are in their areas or on a safe perch. Adaptations One of the adaptations the eagle has is its sharp eyesight for seeing prey in water or in weeds.
Eagles are able to see a tiny mouse when they are a long way up in the sky.
They have sharp talons for grabbing fish or other birds, a strong beak for tearing apart tough meat and fish, and fast flying abilities for catching fast prey. When some swamps dry up, this forces the eagles to find new homes and to battle for space in which to live. When the water from lakes and rivers flood, duck eggs are killed, and also fish wash up on shore, making it more difficult for the eagles to get food. The bald eagle population was decreased because of pesticides. References Ricciuti, Edward.
