2 or 3 shots to get this bird? (5)
I believe the answer is:
eagle
'this bird?' is the definition.
(eagle is a kind of bird)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eagle that I've seen before include "ten-dollar coin" , "Keen-sighted bird of prey" , "Symbolic bird of the US" , "Hook-billed bird of prey -- old US $10 coin" , "Large birds of prey." .)
