El Águila

Feathered wings unfold ... Fierce talons grip ... Meet the eagle! Brimming with vivid photos and scientific facts, Eagles treats middle-grade researchers and wild animal lovers to a comprehensive profile of these brilliant birds of prey. Translated into North American Spanish, it covers zoology topics such as anatomy, diet, habitat, and life cycle, as well as species conservation efforts and the birds' relationships with humans throughout history. Sidebars, a range map, and a glossary support the main text, while an eagle myth from the indigenous people of the Pacific Northwest adds a cross-curricular cultural layer to the title.
