This is the most detailed bird in the collection. The eagle is drawn realistically with both wings raised high above its body, and every flight feather along the trailing edge carries its own outline. Shorter covert feathers overlap in rows across the top of each wing, which gives the upper half of the sheet dozens of narrow shapes to work through.
The head turns in profile toward the right. The hooked beak is open, the eye carries a pupil and a heavy brow line above it, and short strokes break up the back of the neck. Both legs hang below the body with the toes curled and the claws drawn as fine hooks. The tail fans out behind, cut into separate feather strips that shorten toward the edges.
Nothing sits behind the bird. No sky, no branch and no ground, so the whole design floats on open paper.
Colored pencils handle this sheet far better than crayons, because many feather shapes are narrower than a crayon tip. Brown through the body, white across the head and tail, yellow on the beak and feet. Ages eight and up, and adults enjoy it too.
