Farmington Bay Eagle Day

I took the kids to see some eagles a while back. Up to 100 or more eagles nest here every winter and feed on the carp that live and proliferate in the bay. Cool to see so many bald eagles in one day. We probably saw 8-10 in about 45 minutes of looking. And only 10 minutes from the house.

We have these majestic, awesome raptors that live in our state. And we picked the freaking CALIFORNIA  GULL as our state bird instead?? What, was the Nevada swallow taken? We passed on the eagle in favor of the birds that beg and hang out at trash dumps. Nice one Utah. Can we please change this? Our sovereignty demands it.

I am fairly new to Utah and not a member of the church but found out why the Seagull is the state bird.
During the days of settlers here in Utah Seagulls stopped the locus from consuming the crops so settlers did not starve. or so I was told big part of Utah history
