Wilder Side of Oakland County
Eagle habitat just west of the hidden eagles nest.
The American bald eagle – the largest raptor in the skies of Oakland County – has been a spiritual symbol for Native Americans for hundreds of years before this majestic raptor became our national emblem in 1782. Today we find the bald eagle on the silver dollar, half dollars, quarters and much of our paper money. Images of an eagle clutching arrows and an olive branch are proudly displayed on our diplomatic missions and embassies around the world.
