I wish the Bald Eagle had not been chosen as the representative of our country; he is a bird of bad moral character; like those among men who live by sharking and robbing, he is generally poor, and often very lousy. The turkey is a much more respectable bird.” ~ Benjamin Franklin, letter to Sarah Bache (January 26, 1784). (Photo by Rob Mize)
