EAGLE 101: GETTING A LIFT Eagles use two types of lift to aid flying: "thermal" lift involves riding currents of warm, rising air (think sunny days), and "orographic" lift involve riding air currents forced upwards when they hit a cliff face like bluffs (pictured). πŸ¦…πŸ‘#OnlyinMN

EAGLE 101: BILL VS BEAK - WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE? Even ornithologists use different terms with different types of birds, but technically there is no difference between a "bill" and a "beak". They are synonymous! However, they do tend to evoke different images. πŸ¦…πŸ¦†πŸ˜―πŸ‘#OnlyinMN

ASK THE EXPERTS: DO EAGLES RECOGNIZE EACH OTHER? Follow Ash Chandra asks about eagle recognition. There is a lot we don't know, but if eagle do recognize each other, it doesn't change the fact they see each other as competition for food. They aren't social birds. πŸ¦…πŸ˜―πŸ‘#OnlyinMN

THE BIRD & THE BEE Here we see Latsch and a bee buzzing nearby! It looks like he is eyeing the bee, but that is the microcephaly affecting his left eye. It is smaller and underdeveloped resulting in blindness on that side. Superb shot, Seth Vreeman! πŸ¦…πŸπŸ˜―πŸ˜#OnlyinMN #YourEagleHQ

ASK THE EXPERTS: HOW DO EAGLES SEE THROUGH DARK AND MURKY WATER TO SPOT FISH? Bald Eagles have polarized vision to reduce light glare on the water, but only fish the top 4-6 inches of water. They don't have any special vision for murky water. Photo: Kathy Casner. πŸ¦…πŸŸπŸ‘#OnlyinMN
