The Sea Eagles
We may next consider the Sea Eagles, a magnificent group of some seven or eight species that are fully the equal in size and appearance, if not indeed the superiors, of the true Eagles.
They are at once distinguished by having the lower third of the tarsus naked all round, and are further characterized by the lanceolate feathers on the whole head and neck. They possess a long, very powerful, strongly hooked bill and enormously developed feet, which are armed with strong, curved claws.
The genus (Haliaetus) is distributed throughout the entire world except South America, two species and one or two local races being natives of North America.
