		Major new research into eagle taxonomy suggests that the important genera ''Aquila'' and ''Hieraaetus'' are not composed of nearest relatives, and it is likely that a reclassification of these genera will soon take place, with some species being moved to ''Lophaetus'' or ''Ictinaetus''.
		The Eagles took the singer-songwriter ethos to a group setting with increased emphasis on arrangements and musicianship, and the group's early sound became synonymous with the southern California country rock.
		While the albums were consistently labeled as being by "Eagles", the band has consistently referred to itself (including in recent press releases publicising the upcoming tour and the official Don Henley site) as "The Eagles"; they certainly have never made an issue out of the name one way or another.
