I just took a look at my Seahawks '84 AFC Champs sweatshirt and--unless
there's been a redrawing of the graphic--the Osprey's never been born that
has a honker like that, but the massive bill does look right for a Bald
Eagle; it even has the 'mask' of the two to three year-old 'White-belly'
phase immature, though the eye is a sort of northern Pacific Coast native
art knock-off.
Check out the 30-sec commercial for Eagle Eye sunglasses: an adult
White-tailed Eagle dives in but after a quick edit, an adult Baldie flies
away with the fish.
