Animal symbolism
Eagle
What the tradition holds
Read as sovereignty and clear sight, and in many traditions as a carrier between the human and the divine.
Where that reading came from
Eagles are large, rare, and fly higher than anything else people watch, which is most of why empires kept putting them on standards.
An eagle sighting is usually genuinely uncommon. Note where you were: the location tends to explain the frequency better than the meaning does.
