Anyone who has seen the musical 1776 knows this bit of history.

Bison and Rose are the others. But no amphibian or insect.

The bald eagles where I live do seem to steal fish that ospreys catch. The ospreys have to be on guard after a catch. I have seen many ospreys catch a fish, but have never seen a bald eagle catch a fish. The bald eagle may be the perfect symbol of federal government.

Didn’t Benjamin Franklin recommend the turkey as the national bird?

I’ve watched plenty of bald eagles catch fish.

Benjamin Franklin wanted the wild turkey as the national bird.

I have seen many mid air battles between a bald eagle and an osprey that had caught a fish. Never the other way around. More reason that a bald eagle is the perfect symbol of the federal government (not the nation).

Yeah, really, about time. Who cares about lawfare and subversion of the Constitution?

Eagles are predators .As are bears .
And wolves.
Perfect symbols for greedy people and governments.

I rarely see a Bald Eagle that isn’t being harried by a Crow. The Crow should be designated as the Official Bird of the Democrat Party.

Same happens on the Klamath. The balds are like gulls in Alaska.
