Eagle, also known as kite, is a small bird of prey. Unlike ordinary birds, females are usually bigger than males. Eagle is fierce, with a yellow mouth, a curved upper mouth, strong feet, sharp claws on toes and big wings that are good at flying.
Eagle hunters take advantage of this habit: when hunting, eagles always land on trees with a wide view to find prey. Once they find the target, they will rush down to catch the prey. When hunting, hunters and hounds help to disturb their prey. When prey panics, falcons attack and capture prey. At this time, the hunter should arrive in time to catch the prey and feed it to the falcon as a reward. Otherwise, the prey will become the food of the goshawk.
The famous eagles
The first is the goshawk.
Commonly known as Chicken Eagle or Ying Huang. The male is about half a meter long, and the male is smaller than the female. It is gray-black from the head to the front, black behind the eyes and obvious white eyebrow spots. The lower body is white with a large number of gray-black small horizontal spots. The female bird's upper body and wing surface are grayish brown, her eyebrows are white with brown stripes, her lower body is white and there are longitudinal spots under her body. When a goshawk flies, its wings are short and wide, its apex is round and its tail is long. Generally speaking, flapping and gliding alternate and fly in a straight line. The wing stays level when flying. Flapping its wings is faster than other big eagles.
They live in the mountains and are good at preying on small mammals, such as rabbits and mice, and occasionally birds. Distributed in Northeast China and even Yunnan, Guangdong and Wenzhou. Breeding in Siberia and Xiaoxing 'an Mountains in China. This kind of bird likes to eat mice and other things that are beneficial to agriculture. Young birds are often domesticated as falcons to catch rabbits and birds.
Second, sparrow hawk
Commonly known as a kite, it is slightly smaller than a goshawk. Adult birds have blue-gray upper body, long tail feathers and a very obvious dark brown horizontal spot, which is easy to identify. When flying, it mainly depends on flapping wings and short-distance gliding alternately, and often hovers in the air. Often live in the mountains, or near rivers and streams near villages, with strong flying ability and good at preying on animals such as birds. It breeds in the north of North China, the northwest of Northeast China, boketu of Hulunbeier League, Daxing 'anling and Xiaoxing 'anling in the north of China, and often appears in the east of Sichuan and Yunnan in winter. This bird can also be domesticated as a falcon to catch birds.
