What the bald eagle fly like?

it can be very complicated to tell someone how a bald eagle flies, but i have seen its flight pattern, and one up close in school. A bald eagles flight pattern has the rythm of very slow clap, it flaps with a single twitch of its wing tips, kind of like when u wave ur hand like a giant water wave. and when it wants to go fast, it flaps its wings like a medium drum beat, simalar to this beat: bum bum bum bum. And when it wants to land, it flaps liek a fast drum beat, cutting off each beat almost half way, simalar to this: bu-bum-bu-bu-bum. That is all i know about the flight pattern of a bald eagle. Hope this helps ;)
