The Sea Eagle

The 2nd Exercise Of Descriptive Text! 

 By: Miss Wulan

      








        There is an eagle nesting on the tree top near my grandparent’s house in Pangandaran. It is a sea eagle. 

      The color of its feathers is light brown. It has a strong and sharp yellowish beak. Its claws are very sharp. It hunts for fish in the sea but sometimes it hunts chickens and small birds. 

      Eagles have many sizes, shapes and colors, but the sea eagle is easy to recognize because it has a strong streamlined, sharp beak and a stream-line body. 

      Its forelimbs (or arms) serve as wings. This means that they are of little use for anything except flying. It walks on two legs and has a very flexible neck and strong beak to handle foods, to care for its feather and for many other jobs that non-flying animals do with paws, claws, or hands on their forelimbs.
