A random act of nature unfolded Tuesday when the most regal of American symbols, a bald eagle, perched atop a fire truck during a Twin Cities Sept. 11 ceremony.

Bald eagles are everywhere up here In Minnesota. Even in the cities. Every lake, even tiny ones have eagles now.
It’s very common to see them scavenging roadkill or flying over inner-city freeways.
