=Information= The First Time I Saw A Bald Eagle... By: Harrison Fellheimer The first time I saw a Bald Eagle was at the Philadelphia zoo. I was walking around, looking at the different raptors. I turned my head and said wow what an amazing bird. I then ran over staring at its white head. Then I started reading the board that had a lot of information about the eagle. It was very entertaning. When it was time to go I turned to my mom and said the Bald Eagle is the most amazing raptor in the whole zoo. > = //Fun Facts// ==
