Eagle

This is a framed eagle I did for my dad a few years before he passed away. Every time I look at it, I am reminded of him.  He loved eagles and was thrilled when I presented this to him for a gift.  It now hangs at my house.
 
                                                                 INTERESTING FACTS:
  • The Bald Eagle has been the symbol of the United States of America since 1782.
  • At one time, the word “bald” (balde) meant white—not hairless—referring to the white head and upper neck of the adult Bald Eagle.
  • They can live up to 40 years in the wild and even longer in captivity.
  • A group of eagles has many collective nouns, including an "aerie", "convocation", "jubilee", "soar", and "tower" of eagles.
