An eagle's head has the right eyes for finding its prey. The eagle's eyes allow the birds to look for its prey in the water since it can look down and straight ahead. The brown feathes allow the eagle to camoflauge in the shadow of the sun above and the white feathes help it to camoflauge agains the clouds. The supra orbital ridges help shield its eyes from the sun as it looks for food. The beak is hooked so that after it catches its prey, it can easily snip and pluck feathers or fur away from small prey, as well as, tear and bite off pieces of meat, crush twigs to build a nest and feed its young.
