An eagle stands facing left with both wings lifted and spread, the flight feathers drawn as long separate fingers at the tips. Its head is in profile with a heavy hooked beak and a sharp eye, and the chest below is covered in rows of scalloped feather marks that get smaller toward the throat. One set of talons grips a flagpole that runs up through the frame at an angle, and the flag itself hangs behind the bird, a star filled canton at the top and curved stripes falling away to the right.
The feathers are the whole appeal. They are drawn as repeating rows of the same shape, which means the page rewards patience without needing any accuracy at all.
Leaving the head and tail white while coloring the body is the one choice that will make this bird instantly recognizable.
The bald eagle is not bald. The name comes from an older sense of the word meaning white headed, and young birds are mottled brown all over for their first four or five years before the white feathers come in.
