Falcons generally eat other birds, such as small songbirds, medium-sized birds such as rock pigeons, or even larger birds such as ducks and waterfowl. Hawks and owls typically prey upon ground dwelling mammals such as mice, voles, rats, squirrels, and rabbits. Fish make up a large proportion of the Bald Eagleâs diet.
So how much water should I really drink? Today, the IOM liberally recommends an even higher volume of total daily water intake: 3.7 liters (15 cups) for the average adult male and 2.7 liters (11 cups) for the average adult female. If these numbers seem daunting, donât worry.
For women, an adequate intake is around 9 cups (2.2 liters). Many people may have heard the phrase, Drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day, which works out at around 1.9 liters and is close to the IOM's recommendation for women. Drinking 8 by 8 is an easy-to-remember amount that can put people on the right track in terms of water consumption. Water also helps dissolve minerals and nutrients so that they are more accessible to the body, as well as helping transport waste products out of the body.
