	The Tale of the Eagle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The eagle was especially large and had a snake in its beak.
		The eagle with the snake is a widespread motif of myth.
		The eagle goes back to Gjorgj Kastrioti, an Albanian Christian who became a Turkish general in the 15th century under the name of Skenderbeg(he was kidnapped at an early age).

	Welcome to Frosina.org :: An Albanian Immigrant and Cultural Resource
		Suddenly the youth heard above him the loud whirring sound of the large eagle's wings.
		After the eaglet grew, it would always fly above the head of the youth, now a full-grown man, who, with his bow and arrows, killed many wild beasts of the forest, and who, with his sword, slew many enemies of the land.
		Amazed by the valiant hunter's deeds, the people of the land elected him king and called him "Albanian" which is to say "Son of the Eagle." And his kingdom became known as Albania or Land of the Eagles.

	AWC Foundation - Once an Eagle
		This epic tale of war and warriors was both a critical and popular success.
		The conflict between the two men is joined against the carnage, the mud, and the misery of the Argonne; intensifies in the isolated garrison life between the wars and in the Pacific jungles of World War 1; and ominously climaxes in the last major battle of the Cold War--Vietnam.
		ONCE AN EAGLE is more than a powerful study of combat; it is a narrative of change and the challenge of change to the enduring values that have guided the American military professional from 1776.

		Eagle would then burst into an ear-piercing laugh and flap his wings disdainfully.
		The birds did not like Eagle and they all thought he was very mean, for the other eagles swooped down on the smaller birds only when they were hungry.
		Sure that the arrow was not meant for him but for the pigeons, Eagle just turned away.

	DNA from feathers tells tale of eagle fidelity
		Not only is this study the first to confirm monogamy in eagles, more importantly, it also is the first to rely on feathers collected "noninvasively," or without trapping and handling, to provide a source of DNA to determine relationships among individuals and determine various population parameters.
		An Eastern imperial eagle chick scolds Todd Katzner, conservation director with the National Aviary, as he collects feathers from the bird's nest.
		The Eastern imperial eagle (EIE) is a species of conservation concern throughout Central Asia and, like most raptors, EIEs are inherently challenging to study because adults are difficult to capture and band using conventional techniques.

	Fictionwise eBooks: The Tale of the Golden Eagle by David D. Levine
		Nerissa was once a golden eagle but was transformed into a ship's brain back in the cruel times when people thought that was acceptable.
		They took the egg of a golden eagle, and they hatched it in a warm box, and they let it fly and learn and grow, and then they killed it.
		And they took its brain and they placed it at the top of a cunning construction of plastic and silicon which gave it the intelligence of a human, and this they welded to the keel of the starship.

		In 1976, audiences witnessed John Sturges’ entertaining and appealing look at World War II from the German point of view in “The Eagle has Landed”.

		While “The Eagle has Landed” is a story of pure heroism, “Cross of Iron” is a depressing take on the horrors of war.
