       There is an eagle nesting on the tree top near my grandparent’s house in Pangandaran. It was a sea eagle.
       The color of its feathers is light brown. It has a strong and sharp yellowish beak. Its claws are very sharp. It hunts for fish in the sea but sometimes it hunts chickens and small birds.
