Sesame Street - Bald Eagle

[DanaAbel30]

I also know why they're called "bald eagles". It's b/c they never need a haircut. Sorry, a little eagle joke.

[DanaAbel30]

In fact, the famous Latin singer "Christina Aguilera's" last named is derived from the Latin word for "Eagle" -- "Aguila".

[DanaAbel30]

However, the bald eagle ISN'T the largest member of the eagle family. The largest member is the PHILIPPINE MONKEY-EATING EAGLE.

You are a real fountain of wisdom! Very pleased to have met you!

[DanaAbel30]

And the nest is called an "AERIE".  Well, I've always had a fascination for eagles.

[Smartboy8877]

@DanaAbel30

I can understand that! Eagles are very pretty! In any event, you seem like a very interesting person. Very happy to have met you!

Does anyone have the one with a hawk flying?? I vaguely remember that.

[DanaAbel30]

Another island was ALCATRAZ.

0:50 - That scene of NYC must've been shot around between 1967 and 1969. The now-long gone World Trade Center twin towers and the Lower Manhattan Financial District buildings along the East River didn't exist just yet.

I have the other bald eagle film where it flies over the country and the city. That'll be part of my future posts which I'll hopefully get to by this month or next month.

I do not know why this clip came to mind when I flew on a plane to Nebraska and to N ew Mexico.

Ever wonder why we call it a bald eagle? Well if you look at the white feathers on the head close up you see the feathers. But from far away it looks like he doesn't have white feathers on his head so goes the name Bald eagle.

@panda374

Those are some very interesting facts! Thank you very much for sharing!

[panda374]

Do you know why we call it a bald eagle even though it is not really bald? Look at the whtie feathers close up it you see the feathers on the head but from far away he looks like he does not have any so goes the name bald eagle.

[panda374]

Why don't they say where all theese islands are or the names of the island? Yes we see he is looking at an island what what is the island he is looking at? Yes I see that island is very big what what island is it?

[panda374]

Do they have bald eagles in New York?

[DanaAbel30]

No. The largest population of bald eagles in the world is @ the Chilkat River, up in Alaska.

[Smartboy8877]

@DanaAbel30

I had no idea of that! Thank you very much for sharing it with me and all of you other You Tube friends!

[DanaAbel30]

No prob, Man.

[d72jjpilc]

Ah, yes! The breathtaking, exilhirating side of Joe Raposo is exhibited in this timeless classic from the 1970's. Memories, memories, memories!

[panda374]

@d72jjpilc I love thesese animal clips even though they are for children and I am in my 30's I love watching these I can take just 1 watch it 100 times a day. And for some strange reason when I went by plane to Nebraska, I thought of this clip.

[panda374]

@d72jjpilc New York is not an island.

[tyrese3745]

@panda374 No, but Manhattan (burrough) Island is, as well as Staten Island.

[DanaAbel30]

And don't forget "Long Island", where Queens & Brooklyn are located on. The Bronx is the only NYC borough that's on the mainland.
