Dear Mr. Welker,
Today I am reading Birds of Florida. I made the following prediction about the Golden Eagle: The Golden Eagle has its golden color so that it can blend in with sand and capture its prey easily.
While I was reading I raised a few questions. One of my questions was Why is the Golden Eagle similar to the Bald Eagle? I found some facts that support their similarities. They are both juvenile birds and the female birds are bigger than the male birds (Bald and Gold Eagles).
I had a clarification to make as I read the story. I wanted to clarify the word incubation. This word means a waiting period for something to happen or develop. I thought it was very interesting to follow and observe the waiting period (43 to 45 days)for a baby Golden Eagle to be born.
Some more interesting facts are that the baby Eagle has to wait 73 to 75 days before its first flight. Also the Golden swoops down at 70 to 120 miles per to hour to catch its prey.
IT WAS A BLAST TO READ ABOUT THE GOLDEN EAGLE

Teriffic Tusday Response
Dear Mrs. Welker,
I am reading Stone Fox this week. I made a few perdictions at the begining of the story. First of all I think Stone Fox is going to win the race. My reason for this is the fact that he has won every single race in the past.
The little boy in this story had to pay a lot of money to tax collectors. His grandfather is very sick. They really need to win this race and get the $500. The little boy and his dog are a team.
I asked a question as I read the story. The main question was would Stone Fox and his five dogs or the little boy and his dog Searchlite? Searchlite did win the race and this made the boy and his grandfather very happy!
I have some bad news. Searchlite ran so hard until her heart stopped beating and she passed away five feet from the finish line. Stone Fox was so moved by this and he allowed the little boy to carry Searchlite across the finish line. The little boy was happy that he won, but he was sad about losing his best friend.
I hope you enjoyed teriffic Tuesday's response.
