Bald Eagles as a National Symbol
Well, all the "real" Edwards soar above so many forested areas around North America!
I saw more eagles than I could count visiting Kodiak, Alaska! The locals are used to them, but I would gaze at hundreds of them every day.
Seeing them up close on a deck, I realized how large, square, and sturdy they are. And I got used to hearing their call which was very different than what I had imagined.
Why Choose the Bald Eagle?
The bald eagle was chosen to be the National Bird of the United States in 1782, when it was depicted on the Great Seal of our country with outspread wings.
Bald eagles are found all around the globe. They have long been considered symbols of strength, courage, freedom, and immortality.
Unlike other eagles, the bald eagle was a special choice because it was indigenous only to North America.
Apparently, Ben Franklin and John F. Kennedy have opposing views on whether the bald eagle made the best choice for this prestigious distinction!
Read more about this majestic, protected species and the origins of the bald eagle choice in this fantastic article from the U.S. Department of Veteran's Affairs! The document isn't an available link, but if you scroll down to "Collections," you can choose "American Bald Eagle."
