The CT quarter and commem half come to mind, as do lots of eagles on coins.
Great shots. Especially the second one where he's shrieking (or yawning, or whatever it is that eagles do with their heads thrown back and their mouths open).
Love the blue, blue sky as a background, too.

Same lighthouse is suppose to be on one of the National Park Quarters this year, just different view.

old thread
here is one of the images from the op that is missing
The mascot for the University is a Bald Eagle named "Freedom" who flies down from the top of the pressbox to the center of the field as part of the pre-game show at all home football games and some away games.
Funny/Not-so-funny story that happened to a friend of mine who was a first-year Principle at a local elementary school in Statesboro. A couple weeks after school started someone ran into his office said there was a dead Bald Eagle lying in the middle of the parking lot. To his disbelief he went out there and sure enough there it was, dead. He call the guy who runs the wildlife education center to come out and take a look and the guy told him to rope the area off and don't let anybody come within like 500 feet of the bird. A little while later several unmarked vehicles showed up with lights flashing and taped off the area with crime scene tape. In the meantime my buddy went and looked at the video of the parking lot where the Eagle was and sure enough it caught the Eagle crash landing into it. After lots of picture taking, measuring, note taking and everything else that comes with working a crime scene, they scooped the Eagle up in a trash bag and sent it for autopsy (yes, seriously). Came back as dying of natural causes and falling out of the sky. Weird.
They packaged the remains up and shipped them to an American Indian tribe out in New Mexico or Arizona or something saying by law they have the rights to all deceased Bald Eagle remains.
Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.
<< <i>and Ben Franklin wanted the turkey as our national symbol
Ben was brilliant. They should have listened to him.
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
<< <i>Good thread to bump. Interesting that they actually pose like that. >>
i bumped it for the eagles of course but also to remind me of the cool talks tyedye and i have had, especially above saving coins from evil smelters (my designation, not his). lol
