YOUR ART CLASS SOARS WITH AN EAGLE
 
On June 20, 1782 the bald eagle became the national. bird of the U.S.A. The eagle was selected to represent freedom because of its great strength, impressive 
appearance, and its long life. Benjamin Franklin wanted the turkey, however a great joint decision was made in adopting the American bald eagle. The eagle is a skilled hunter, preferring fish to other prey. It's eyes are over 3 times stronger than a human1s. An eagle's wing span can be as great as 8 feet however the bird weighs around 14 pounds, due to its light, hollow bones. Today Your Art Class can soar with an Eagle.
