Even the smallest eagles, such as the ■ booted eagle, which is comparable in size to a common buz zard or red-tailed hawk, have relatively longer and more even ly broad wings, and more direct, faster flight. Like all birds of prey, eagles have very large, hooked beaks, strong, muscular Obituaries RUSS RUSSELL/BERTIE LEDGER-ADVANCE legs, and powerful talons. The beak is typically heavier than that of most other birds of prey. Eagles’ eyes are extremely powerful. It is estimated that the martial eagle, whose eye is more than twice as long as a human eye, has a visual acuity 3.0 to 3.6 times that of humans. This acuity enables eagles to spot potential prey from a very long distance.
