This was taken in Ketchikan, AK this summer...

That was taken at a marina north of Ketchikan that we visited on our bike tour. There was an eagle on darn near every piling there.

I kind of thought he was sitting there thinking "It's too rainy to go kill something... maybe these humans will feed me!"
 
First eagle says to his friend - " So my mate sent me out to catch a salmon, but I find this great looking sign and spend 2 days getting it back to the nest. I say to my mate, hey...look at what I found. Where should I stick it............."
 
The Eagle of Freedom

0, that Eagle of Freedom! when cloud upon cloud
Swathed the sky of my own native land with a shroud,
When lightnings gleamed fiercely, and thunderbolts rung,
How proud to the tempest those pinions were flung!
Though the wild blast of battle rushed fierce through the air
With darkness and dread, still the eagle was there;
Unquailing, still speeding, his swift flight was on,
Till rainbow of peace crowned the victory won.

0, that Eagle of Freedom! age dims not his eye,
He has seen earth's mortality spring, bloom, and die!
He has seen the strong nations rise, flourish, and fall,
He mocks at Time's changes, he triumphs o'er all;
He has seen our own land with forests o'erspread,
He sees it with sunshine and joy on its head;
And his presence will bless this his own chosen clime,
Till the Archangel's fiat is set upon time.

"You lookin' at me? You lookin' at me? You lookin' at me? Then who the heck else are you lookin' at? You lookin' at me? Well, I'm the only one here. Who do the (expletive deleted) do you think you're looking at? Oh, yeah? Ok."
 
Actually put a little more fur on it and that is what the Army would bring around for drug dogs. Dust mops. Damned near laughed my ass off the first time.
