Is an eagle a specialist or a generalist?

Eagles are generally considered to be specialists, as they often have specific hunting and nesting behaviors adapted to their environments. For example, many eagle species have particular prey preferences, such as fish for the bald eagle or small mammals for the golden eagle. However, some species can exhibit generalist traits by adapting their diet based on availability, allowing them to thrive in varied habitats. Overall, their classification can depend on the species and environmental context.
