American Bald Eagle Information Eagle Myths, Folklore and Legends

There is an old legend that the eagle alone among animals can look into the sun. According to the translation of St. Augustine, "The sun invigorates the eyes of eagles, but injures our own."

   Athapaskan myths portrayed eagles as the deliverers of people from famine. A prince who gave an eagle a salmon during time of plenty was repaid in the lean year that followed by grateful eagles who first dragged salmon, then sea lions, and eventually whales to shore in gratitude for the prince's kindness. Such legends were probably inspired by the sight of eagle parents carrying food to their nests.

I'm not sure we will ever be able to conduct experiments to test their "sun induced eye invigoration"  due to the previously mentioned decline in population. If it is true, there may be other birds or related animals that could recieve the same power.

Makes me think of birds diving into the ocean and coming up for fish>> I can't even catch a fish with bait and a pole. So Majestic
