A Convocation

We have seen many Bald Eagles in our travels around the country but nothing like last night. Here at the lake at our Orlando campground there was a group of about 40 circling and diving through the air. When Eagles gather, it is called a convocation. (I had to look that up…). It was a great sight. They are magnificent flyers, maintaining a trademark rigid back and neck as they soar. While finding convocation on the web, I was reminded that Congress named The American Bald Eagle our national bird in 1784. Ben Franklin objected thinking that the wild turkey would be a better choice. Eagles do eat carrion…but I am glad Congress went forward. I prefer a national bird that screes rather than one that gobbles.

  1. Excellent information, I think you need to expand this story in more detail and in addition you can make an excellent presentation on this topic. I recently did wonderful flyers with an eagle, it looks very cool. Most importantly, no one will throw out such a flyer, since it depicts a bird with the flag of our country. I found the templates here https://poweredtemplate.com/brochure-templates/flyers/business/index.html. There you can find great templates for presentations.
