The baby is ready to fly 70 days after hatching. And when it grows to be an adult eagle it will look for a big empty space of land for its home. The adult eagle is a plain brown with amber tipped feathers. They can get up to 7 to 13 pounds and 30 to 36 inches long. It has a 6 foot wingspan.
Raccoons are enemies to the eagle because they eat their eggs.
If you see a brown bird with a good size beak, it may be an eagle. If so, it is a golden eagle. The golden eagle and the bald eagle are the only eagles found in the United States. The golden eagle is found all over Colorado, Washington, Oregon, and other western states. In Colorado they are found on the plains, canyons, and mountain sides.
