"You know the sound you hear every time there's a bald eagle in a movie or TV show? Yeah, that's not a bald eagle. This bald eagle fact became more widespread knowledge in 2012, when NPR published a story about how widespread this Hollywood mixup is."

"... why Benjamin Franklin didn't think America's symbol should be an eagle. It's a popular myth that he wanted the turkey instead (the Smithsonian says he just suggested that the bird on the proposed American seal looked like it was a turkey and that turkeys were more respectable bird)..."
