A new art work was dedicated yesterday afternoon at the Jackson Rancheria Casino. The giant sculpture of a Bald Eagle taking flight from atop a rocky outcropping above a waterfall and flowing river adds a dramatic accent to the front of the casino. The Bald Eagle was selected as the national emblem for the US in 1782 because of its long life, great strength and majestic looks. It is the only eagle that is unique to North America and was just recently removed from the endangered species list. The Eagle water feature stands 31 feet high with a wing span of 26 feet.
