However it is that God created them, they’re magnificent! We live quite close to the Eagle River in the mountains of BC, near the Rockies. The salmon run in our river, and the eagles follow them so we’ve had the privilege of seeing several - sometimes 2-3 at once - soaring overhead. I always thank God in those moments for what they represent. Even so far above us as they soar, you can always see the white head and tail feathers and the tilt at the wing tips. I am always in awe of their majesty.
And yet my son tells me, the bald eagle is lazy and prefers scavenging, while the golden eagle is a predator that hunts. It's a symbol, but we are the means.
