Someone said that “American bald eagles are like great leaders. They don’t flock. They fly high one at the time.” That’s why there is perhaps no symbol, other than the American flag, more synonymous with the United States than the American bald eagle.

I was shocked when I came across the story of Beauty, an American bald eagle. Her name cannot disguise the ugliness of what happened to her. Beauty was tragically shot in the face by one evil human who left her for dead.
