The symbol of the mighty Roman legions has become a new standard

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7177688.stm Thought some might have an interest in this. I have been watching and photographing Bald Eagles along the Mississippi River close to my home lately, where they winter. No Golden Eagles here sadly but easy to see how these magnificent creatures are in the heralds and mythos of so many nations.

We don't see many eagles in Britain either these days. I've certainly never seen one in the wild. Most of our birds of prey are small and often seen hovering into wind above a likely target area. Not too long ago I saw a falcon flying in formation with a pair of seagulls... What would our roman ancestors thought of that?
