At Bush Gardens, they have an exhibit where they rehabilitate wild bald eagles. They really are awesome to watch and see up close.

Eagles are great, we go up to Squaw Creek Wild Life Preserve (Close to Mound City, Missouri) every year to see them in the wild. A few years ago there were 500 pairs up there. They bring one in to Skidmore, Missouri's Freedom Fest (http://www.skidmorefreedomfest.com/) every year too. Her name is Moose. They will never be able to release her because she injured her wing.
God Bless America, God Save The Republic.
About half the time I see them, after staring at them in awe, I remember the story about Ben Franklin wanting to make the Turkey the national bird...
