      noted species are the golden eagle (Aquila
      chrysa["e]tus); the imperial eagle of Europe (Aquila
      mogilnik or Aquila imperialis); the American bald eagle
      (Hali[ae]etus leucocephalus); the European sea eagle

      (Thrasaetus harpyia). The figure of the eagle, as the
      king of birds, is commonly used as an heraldic emblem, and
      also for standards and emblematic devices. See Bald
      eagle, Harpy, and Golden eagle.
