The bald eagle became the national bird of the United States of America in 1782. Our founding fathers were enamored with the Roman Republic’s government. The eagle was a potent symbol in Rome representing the military and political power of the Empire power of Christ, so it’s no surprise that an eagle was chosen to symbolise the new Republic. #baldeagle #baldeagle #foundingfathers #nationalsymbol #NationalSymbols #wildlifephotography
