Posted by: pdwalker at September 18, 2013 9:00 AMBeg to differ. This is not what an eagle sees. Can you make out a squirrel or rabbit in the bush he's flying over? Spot any fish down below? See any prey items? This is what a human sees if he were on the back of an eagle.

There's a lesson in there.
