Why Bald Eagles Are Bald

Why Bald Eagles Are Bald.

I made an adjustment to the color of your title. It is important to have a sharp contrast between text and the background to make it clear to the reader. You can experiment with other colors but I wanted you to see that yellow on black was a sharper contrast that your original title.

Once there was a Bald Eagle his hair grew so fast. It started close to his head then to his wings then to his knees then at his toes. But Eagle never really thought to do much about it. When his hair got too bad Bald Eagle went to his friend Mountain Lion.
On his way to Mountain Lion the hair on his head blocked the view of the mountain Bald Eagle didn't realize how close he was to the mountain.

‘’I can’t see anything I’m going to crash!!!’’

BANG

Eagle banged right into a tree half way up the mountain. Eagle flew higher up the mountain and got to where Mountain Lion sat watching it all happen.

Do you know that bald eagles are not really "bald"? They do have feathers on their head, but they are white. Your story is explaining something that is not real in nature. Is there a way you can adjust it so that the eagle's dark feathers are turned white?

Can you re-take this photo to get close enough to the drawing and block out the edge that shows your desk? You can also create a border like I demonstrated.

Mountain Lion, I need to talk with you.’’said Bald Eagle.

”What now Bald Eagle I was trying to catch my dinner than you scared it away.’’exclaimed Mountain Lion.

‘’I’m sorry but it’s about my hair its gotten out of control. I always hit trees, fall in seas and land on bees,’’ Complained Bald Eagle.

‘’I don't know because I am perfect.’’ Mountain Lion said with his nose in the sky.

Bald eagle was sad that Mountain Lion couldn't help him. As he bolted down the mountain.

SWEWM.

Suddenly a large gust of wind threw all of Bald Eagles hair in his eyes.

‘’Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!’’

‘’I can’t see anything help!’’

Bald eagle crashed into the big lake under the mountain.

SPLASH!

Bald Eagle came out of the water all wet and now his wings couldn't fly. So Bald Eagle had to walk two MILES back home. When he got to his nest his wings were all dry. Bald Eagle could now fly up to his nest but his hair got caught on the branches of the tree. A couple strands of hair fell out. Bald Eagle slept all night long. Early in the morning Bald eagle flew out of his nest he went straight to Mountain Lion. Bald Eagle started up the the tall mountain. Then the hair on Bald Eagles head flew right into his eyes. Bald Eagle could not see anything. He didn't see how close he was to the mountain.

“ AHHHHHHHHH!’’

Bald eagle yelled for help...but it was to late.

BUZZZZZZZZ

PING

When Bald Eagle hair cleared from his eyes he saw a very angry bee looking right at him.

‘’Whats wrong with you?’’ said the little bee. Then without saying another word he flew away. Bald Eagle felt so bad so he flew as fast as he could to get to Mountain Lion.

When Bald Eagle got there Mountain Lion said,” What now Bald Eagle I was trying to catch breakfast then you scared it away.’’

‘’I can’t take it anymore I keep hitting trees, fall in seas and land on bees!’’ said Bald Eagle.

‘’I don’t know because I am perfect.’’ Mountain Lion said as he marched around.

Bald Eagle was sad as he flew home ‘’all I want is to be perfect like Mountain Lion thats all I wanted.’’ Bald Eagle said. When Bald Eagle got to his nest as he entered his long hair got stuck on a branch. he still tried to get in but it was just to stuck. Then
when he pulled really hard all Bald Eagle's hair came out. Bald Eagle was so happy he flew so fast up the mountain without the smallest bit of hair getting in his eyes. Mountain Lion watched from the top of the mountain you could see how amazed he was.

‘’Look at me my dream came true.’’ Said Bald Eagle.

‘’ Now I really I’m bald.’’ And thats why Bald Eagles are bald.
