There is no doubt that eagles have a beauty and grace fitting their status as America’s national emblem. An eagle’s eyes are up to eight times sharper than that of humans and contain many more color-sensitive cones. Located on the side of the head, their eyes provide a wide field of view, and their large wings, compared to other birds, allowing them to soar and hunt vast areas with a minimum of effort. Freedom and power. Isn’t that they’re a perfect pilot for representing American.
