Head looks good but I think there is a bit problem with the eye. From the side view it is showing ok but in front view the eyes are looking very much tilted.

Neil is right, also you should check in front view, neck & head width, look a bit oversized for me. keep refining it Peter.!

was wondering, are you using any references? I just googled for pics and found this
Google Image Result for http://homepage.mac.com/wildlifeweb/bird/bald_eagle/bald_eagle_01tk.jpg

there isn't any true side view, but it's close.

They are trying to help you get the proportions correctly, most modelers use at least two reference photos to model. Currently we do not know what extent of the bird you are modeling, you have the head and neck and then a small portion of the body? without the full model or reference photo it is hard for people to comment. Birds like humans have proportions and anotomical indicators used to scale proper proportions. If you do not know these, just winging it so to speak, will probably look wrong.

thanks

Maybe because there is no feather on it it look abit naked and strange
with feathers it will be bigger than now I think

thanks peter

nah, putting feathers on it isn't going to make the proportions and placements look correct, or close to being correct. Comparing the pics on that site to your model shows there are a few things off. The beak is too wide. The eyes are too far apart and you have them angled. Using references helps you to get an idea of where to place the eyes, the width of the beak, the shape of the head & eyes. The sharp edges defining the beak where it's attached to the head.. a reference can help you to model that part more accurately. All this isn't to say that your model so far is downright trash.. there's just things that could be tweaked to make it resemble an eagle more. No harm intended here.
