About these eagle coloring pages

Bald eagles star in these eagle coloring pages, joined by a crested harpy eagle from the rainforest. Ages 3 to 5 can color a bald eagle perched on a thick branch or one facing forward with its wings spread wide. Kids ages 6 to 8 get an eagle swooping down to catch a fish and a bald eagle beside the American flag, and ages 9 and up can explore a treetop nest with two fluffy eaglets or the harpy eagle high in the canopy.

Teens and adults can take on the doodle-patterned eagle and a detailed head in profile. The flag page makes an easy Fourth of July table activity, and in class you can pair the nest page with a talk about how eagle pairs add sticks to the same nest year after year.

Also in summer coloring pages.

Eagle facts to share

  1. Bald eagles are not actually bald; the name comes from an old English word for white, after their white head feathers.
  2. Bald eagle pairs often return to the same nest every year and keep adding sticks, so some nests grow wider than a kitchen table.
  3. The bald eagle appears on the Great Seal of the United States and is a well-known national symbol.

Color idea: Give the bald eagle a chocolate-brown body, a white head and tail and a bright yellow beak and feet, then use soft sky blues and pine greens for the backgrounds.

Eagle coloring page questions

Which eagle page fits the Fourth of July?

The medium page with a bald eagle perched on a fence post beside the stars and stripes flag and a row of sunflowers is a natural fit for summer and Independence Day. The eagle with doodle-patterned feathers works for older kids and adults.

Which eagle pages are good for young kids?

Start with the easy bald eagle perched on a branch or the eagle facing forward with its wings spread wide. Both show a single big bird with simple feathers and almost no background, so ages 3 to 5 can color them with chunky crayons.

How do I color a bald eagle realistically?

Leave the head and tail white or pale gray, color the body and wings a deep chocolate brown, and use bright yellow for the hooked beak, the eyes and the feet. Young eaglets are fluffy gray-brown all over and don't have the white head yet.
