AnswerCut your hair very short. Ask a stylist to use a no. 4 guard on the clippers, and if you want it shorter, go to a 3 or 2. Have a patient stylist do this in steps to see what you like. Feel comforted knowing that if you are going to thin, this is the best time in history to do it, as clipped hair is the most popular it has ever been for thick and thin hair, and is considered very normal now for all ages of men. Actually, Many younger women prefer shorter hair on men, even shaved. Look at it this way. What do people stare at the most and ponder over? A comb over, a hairpiece, or clipped short thinning hair?

Bald eagles are basically fish eaters, which they catch by plucking fish swimming near the surface from the water. They are not good swimmers, and rarely go completely into the water. They also take ducks and other waterfowl, and sometimes other game. They will scavenge on animal carcasses as well.

What adaptations does the bald eagle have?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Bald Eagle has little bumps on the bottom of its feet, called spicules. These spicules, along with razor sharp talons, help the eagle grip its prey while flying. It can migrate if it wants to, depending on location. If its territory has access to open water, it remains there all year, but if the body of water freezes during the winter, making it almost impossible to get food, it migrates to the south or to the coast. The Bald Eagle picks migration routes which take advantage of thermals, updrafts, and food resources. During migration, it may ascend in a thermal and then glide down, or may ascend in updrafts created by the wind against a cliff or other terrain. Trust me, I have done projects about the bald eagle.

The bald eagle has keen eyesight to spot prey, hollow bones, and a strong beak to lift and catch things with.

How do you spot a Bald Eagle's nest?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The very best method is to use binoculars and... looking upward, scan for the tell-tale eight- to ten-foot diameter tangle of sticks and twigs, not necessarily at the tops of trees, but near the tops. Should you happen to be also scanning cliffsides, look for the tell-tale (large AND long) white scat-droppings/drippings so prevalent below their nesting areas.
