aar ; Icel. art; Goth, ara; related to Gr. 8pvK. At 

 present, two species of eagle are natives of Britain, the 

 golden eagle [aquila chrysaetus) and the white-tailed eagle 

 {haliastus albicilld), both of which were probably known to 

 the Anglo-Saxons. In the Battle of Brunanburh, the eagle, 

 described as white behind [csftan whit), is undoubtedly 

 the white-tailed eagle, but the war-eagle, usually called 

 dark-feathered {salowigpdda), is probably the golden 

 eagle, known in Scotland as the black eagle.
