Trivia

◆Eagles found in Nuevo Paraíso are actually birds called crested caracaras, which have orange bills and aren't actually classified as eagles, while the birds around Tall Trees are the famous bald eagles. Interestingly, the golden eagle, which does live in the American Southwest, is not included in the game; however, it eventually would make an appearance in Red Dead Redemption 2.
◆Like hawks, eagles will make a loud screech while flying.
◆John Marston appears to have an eagle feather attached to his hat.
