I was reminded of this statue when I saw that the movie Iron Eagle was on satellite a few days ago…you know, the one where the American fighter jets apparently carry five million rounds of ammo and ten thousand missiles? At least it seems that way, because they never seem to run out. Anyway, I digress. The last time I took any pictures of this big eagle, the weather wasn’t as nice and I didn’t have a wide enough lens. Both of those were remedied yesterday, so I climbed around for a few different angles. Given the position of the sun and the fact that I had errands to run, this one turned out to be my favorite. A little later in the day, a photo from beneath the eagle would be really cool. Another time, perhaps.

This statue is 20 years old this year. Although Eagles Park has been around seemingly forever, it’s interesting to note that the statue that features so prominently (even from Washington Street a block away) is a relatively new fixture.
