What is the value of 1883 cc silver dollar with eagle upside down?
First, could I ask that you please take a look at your pocket change? You'll find two things: 1. All U.S. coins carry the motto "E Pluribus Unum" 2. All U.S. coins have their reverse sides oriented opposite (i.e. upside down) compared to their front sides. Thus neither one of these makes a coin valuable. In any case, assuming you have the most common design for a 1921 dollar, the so-called "Morgan" design (named for its artist) your coin is worth somewhere between $14 and $18 depending on its condition. Whether the eagle is truly upside-down depends on how you're flipping the coin. If you flip the coin from top to bottom, the eagle should remain right-side-up. However, if you're flipping it side-to-side, the eagle will normally be upside-down. If yours has a rotated reverse, it's going to be worth at least a couple of hundred dollars. Compare the orientation of the sides on your dollar with other coins in your pocket change. U.S. coins all have their reverses oriented 180 degrees off from their obverses (fronts). The motto E Pluribus Unum ("From many, one") has appeared on dollars since 1878 and on all circulating U.S. coins since around 1916, so this isn't a distinguishing characteristic. The most important characteristics are denomination, date, mintmark, and condition.

Does the mom eagle feed her baby eagle?
Yes they are very attached to their young they protect them from all dangers. As an eagle stirs up its nest it hovers over its young, spreading out its wings, taking them up, carrying them on its wings. they also feed their young before themselves.
How much can a bald eagle weigh?
Bald eagles generally weigh between 4 - 6 kilograms, although some have been found both below and above this range, with some Alaskan eagles recorded with weights of well over 7 kg. Female eagles are the larger and heavier of the sexes.
Now that we now how much eagles themselves can weigh, we can use that to define how much they can "lift". Of many prey items found in nests and weighed, a good general rule seems to be that eagles can carry up to half of their own weight. This obviously means female eagles are able to carry more larger prey than the males. Sometimes, eagles have trouble judging the weight of prey. I've witnessed eagles in Alaska "lock on" to a large salmon, obviously heavier than could be carried away in flight, and the eagle is very capable of floating and "swimming" to shore with its prey, rather than give it up. Then, dragged up on shore, the feasting begins.

What is the golden eagle ecosystem?
Bald eagles resides in North America, from Alaska and Canada to northern Mexico near swamps, lakes, oceans and rivers where there are lots of fish, clean waters, and tall trees for nesting and roosting.The bald eagle live by preying on slower, weaker, or injured members of its ecosystem. Raptors (predatory birds), bald eagles are at the top of the food chain and fish in both fresh and salt water. They feed on fish, small animals like ducks, coots, muskrats, turtles, rabbits, and snakes and carrion (dead animals) occasionally. Fish is 90% of there diet.
................................................................................................................
That is not a niche. A niche refers to the way in which an organism fits into an ecological community or ecosystem. The niche of an eagle is as consumer and top predator
Some young eagles shed their downy feathers early and wear the dress of grown-up birds. Others keep some or all of their baby feathers five or six years. And there are some very old eagles still wearing some of the downy feathers of their first dresses.
Are there over 1 billion birds of prey in the world?
If you are asking are there over one billion species of birds of prey, the answer is 'NO'.
If you are asking are the over one billion birds of prey in total in the world, the answer is... 'no one knows, because no one has counted them all yet'. But it is not likely.
Consider that there are multiple species of birds of prey, however most birds of prey are in relatively small numbers compared to other birds such as 'gulls' (seagulls) which are primarily scavengers, although in instances you might consider them a bird of prey, simply because they will actively fish if needed.
Now there is definite probability in considering there are over one billion 'gulls' , they simply breed at extraordinary rates. If you were to consider gulls in the mix of birds of prey, yes there would definitely be over one billion birds of prey on the planet. However, essentially they are not considered birds of prey, so we are left back with the consensus on what is considered a bird of prey.
As I started saying, in relation to other bird species, birds of prey are relatively small in numbers. However, I am not qualified to say whether there are or are not over one billion... my general feeling is 'no', but there would most likely be in excess of 300 million. That means every single person in the United States of America could own a bird of prey and there should be more left over to share with other people around the world.
Think of it as simply as this... ask ten different people in ten different location around the world how many people each one of them sees in the world in one week.
There are 6,602,224,175 people in the world today as I write this.
Now ask the same people how many birds of prey do they see in the world in one week.
Then do a ratio comparison and you should have an answer close to the reality of the number of birds of prey in the world.
I would say on average, a person would see more than 200 people in one week. I am not talking about people you know. I am simply saying people you see when you are simply walking down the street or in a shopping mall etc.
Now in comparison, I would say on average people would see 2 birds of prey in a week, depending on where you live, you may see none, or you may see ten, so average that out and it would probably come to about 2 per person, in a good bird sighting week.
Is this starting to paint a reasonable picture for you... I hope I have been of some help.
Don't always believe statistics, do an exercise for yourself based on rational and logical thinking and you will always get an answer closer to reality than relying on statistics that are often averaged out anyway.
Honestly, who has been around the world and counted every single spider, or cockroach, or people with blue eyes, or free radicals in a cubic meter of space, or stars in one hundred galaxies, to give us figures and numbers of any actual and infallible accuracy on the stats of things. Doesn't it always make you wonder, who the heck counted these things... I definitely know the answer to that one... NO ONE!

Can an eagle or a hawk see farther?
The eagle developed his keen eyesight through the process of natural selection.
In order to survive as a hunter, the eagle (as a species) developed good eyesight through evolution, so that he would be able to detect the smallest movement of his prey. Once he targets his prey, he swoops down to a much lower altitude and scoop up his intended supper before they are aware of the danger.
Eagles with poor eyesight didn't survive and likely not many of them lived long enough to breed.
