•Learn Historic Eagle Symbolism
The eagle is undoubtedly at the top of the food chain and one of the most powerful raptors, so it is no surprise that many countries use eagles for their national symbolism. Not only is the bald eagle the national bird of the United States, but the double-headed eagle of Russia was a symbol of the Tsarist regime and is now part of the Russian Federation, while an eagle clutching a snake is the legendary symbol for Aztecs to build their capital city of Tenochtitlan, where Mexico City is today.

Toast these magnificent birds of prey with Screaming Eagle Wines or an eagle cocktail, preferably as part of a banquet or cocktail hour at a birding festival, eagle event fundraiser or other bird-related formal occasion.
