“Their physicality and presence is so profound you feel a need to pay homage to them.”

Not so majestic when you see a dozen of them eating a dead calf's carcass. They didn't kill the calf but they eat rotting stuff just like vultures do.

Which is why Benjamin Franklin was of the opinion that our national bird should be the wild turkey instead of the eagle.

The pilgrims would have starved, supposedly, if not for the presence of turkeys. Eagles eat road kill. He thought the turkey was the more noble choice, but in my opinion turkeys don’t look nearly as good on a coin as eagles.
