The Bald Eagle has been the national symbol of the United States of America since 1782. The first postage stamp featuring the bald eagle was issued in 1938 and since then there have been numerous stamps, postal stationary items and meter cancels with images of the eagle. Here's is a current Postalia franking meter featuring the eagle in an unusual upright stance.
Here you will see birds on stamps with clear postmarks to show where the birds have flown from. These places have been plotted on the Google map of Traveling Birds. http://goo.gl/JcbeKc . Click on any bird name beside the map to see the stamps. I hope you enjoy traveling with the birds.

Morocco- Northern Bald Ibis
From a special friend who sent this cover while on holidays in Marrakech, North Africa. I know the postmark isn't very clear but the registration label is so I'm adding it here as its from an unusual destination.
From a 2012 4v set of fauna, which included a bird stamp of the Northern Bald Ibis -(Geronticus eremita)
