Comments by "Victoria Eads" (@victoriaeads6126) on "The mystery of Washington's Eagle" video.

When I was a teenager in SE PA, I saw a bird in the trees in our backyard either two or three times. It was huge. At the time I thought that it was a Golden Eagle, because I was a nerd and knew even then that juvenile Bald Eagles didn't have that coloring, but the Washington's Eagle fits with what I saw. The range is wrong for Golden Eagles, and it was easily 10 feet by wingspan. My first thought upon seeing this video now, as an adult, is that we ought to be asking more of the First Nations folks about this, because they would obviously know more if they have enough connections to their ancestral stories to keep the line unbroken or able to be reconstructed. The idea that these rare birds could have inspired some of the Thunderbird legends is SO SO cool!!!
