## Caption

The bald eagle symbolizes strength and freedom, making it the perfect choice for national bird of the #UnitedStates 🇺🇸
 
If you look closely, you’ll see this bird’s nictitating membrane over their eye. This membrane acts as an inner eyelid, protecting the eye from dust and keeping it moist.
