I remember in high school, I was on a summer long paleontology trip for students, and we drove to important paleontological sites all over the country and participated in digs, collecting specimens for our campus museum. At some point along the road, I'm not sure if it was in perhaps Montana or Wyoming, these incredible birds were everywhere in the trees as we drove into an old mining town with a river gorge running through it. I had never seen a bald eagle in real life until then; only in photographs. I remember being amazed at how awesome these birds were.
