Eagles are large birds of prey which are members of the bird family Accipitridae,and belong to several genera which are not necessarily closely related to each other.Most of the more than 60 species occur in Eurasia and Africa.[1] Outside this area,just two species (the Bald and Golden Eagles) can be found in the USA and Canada,nine more in Central and South America,and three in Australia.
Eagles are differentiated from other birds of prey mainly by their larger size,more powerful build,and heavier head and bill.Even the smallest eagles,like the Booted Eagle (which is comparable in size to a Common Buzzard or Red-tailed Hawk),have relatively longer and more evenly broad wings,and more direct,faster flight.Most eagles are larger than any other raptors apart from the vultures.The species called eagle can range in size from the Spillovers serpent-eagles,which typically weigh about 500 grams (1.1 pounds) and measure 45 cm (18 in),to the 6.5-kg,1-meter Harpy Eagle,though the Philippine Eagle and the Steller's Sea-Eagle are of similar size.
Like all birds of prey,eagles have very large powerful hooked beaks for tearing flesh from their prey,strong muscular legs,and powerful talons claws.They also have extremely keen eyesight which enables them to spot potential prey from a very long distance.[2] This keen eyesight is primarily contributed by their extremely large pupils which cause minimal diffraction (scattering) of the incoming light.
Eagles build their nests,called eyries,in tall trees or on high cliffs.Many species lay two eggs,but the older,larger chick frequently kills its younger sibling once it has hatched.

you ask me what is the eagle.
In my heart,eagle is a bird which has two broad wings and a big body who love flying in the sky for long time.
Everything about them is big. They are one of nature’s largest raptors, with wings that can span eight feet, and nests that can weigh up to a ton. Unique to North America, the bald eagle is the continent’s most recognizable aerial predator, with a shocking white head, electric yellow beak and penetrating eyes. Yet most people know little about it beyond its striking appearance.
In the 1960s, the bald eagle was on the brink of extinction caused by the pesticide DDT and other human pressures. Following their protection as an endangered species, bald eagles have come roaring back. But even in the best of times, life in the wild for these birds is a surprisingly tough struggle.
From the pristine wilderness of Alaska to the Upper Mississippi River Valley, American Eagle goes behind the scenes and into the nest to provide the ultimate bird’s eye view into the private life of an American icon.
