🦅Eagle 101: What Are Bald Eagles NOT Good At?🦅 From incredible gripping strength to super vision, it might start to feel like eagles don't have any weaknesses. But as the saying goes, you can't have it all, and that is certainly true for eagles. Today, we explore some of the drawbacks that eagles have. Let's start with the eyes. They are incredible! But despite being able to see a rabbit running on a bluff up to three miles away or a fish down in the water below through the glare of the sun, those eagle eyes do have limitations. For starters, eagles don't have good night vision. They are diurnal creatures meaning that they are active during the day. They need to find a comfy branch and tuck in at night until the morning because they won't see much in the dark of night. This is much different from another type of raptor - owls. Owls, as we know, are nocturnal and have very good night vision for hunting prey in the dark. But their eyes are different, and those differences suit one raptor for the day and the other for the night. Moving on! Where eagles have excellent vision, they do not have super hearing. Now, that isn't to say that they can't hear. Not at all. Eagle hearing is on par with humans. Compared to those owls, eagle hearing is pretty pedestrian. They don't hunt by sound, and certainly don't need to. Eagles also do not have a very well-developed sense of taste and smell. We might consider this a drawback, but it benefits eagles, considering that they are scavengers. When you get food any way you can, being able to ignore the less pleasant attributes of your meal has its advantages. Finally, as we covered recently, eagles are not built for speed flying. No. Their physiology suits them for soaring and scanning, not chasing and maneuvering. Those large, broad wings allow them to master the skies, but smaller, more maneuverable birds have the advantage in a chase. Here we see a beautiful Juvenile Bald Eagle carefully using those broad, powerful wings to glide over the landscape and carefully scan the terrain below. Photo by Kathy Casner. 😍🦅😯😊👍 (fb)
