Eagle. 



EAGLE. — A name given to the larger species of the Falcon family, 

 differing in little but size from the true falcons. There seem to be three 

 well ascertained native species ; the Golden Eagle, the Osprey, and 

 what we call Eagle, from its frequent occurrence, and which we shall 

 now introduce.
