eagles

Bald American symbols

Eagles are large birds of prey known for their keen eyesight, powerful talons, and soaring flight.

The word typically appears as the plural of eagle, referring to multiple birds: Bald eagles have rebounded since DDT was banned.

In golf, eagles are scores of two under par on a hole.

The term also applies to various coins bearing an eagle image, particularly the American gold eagle. (Capitalized Eagles refers to sports teams or the rock band.)
