The Eagle has landed
City crews help align the eagle at the new welcome sign Monday morning. The $75,000 sign, which is funded by the city, will not only welcome those coming to town but also honors the Boulder City High School Eagles.
Crane operator Danny McKay, a 1987 BCHS grad, slowly moves the eagle into place as city crews help line it up Monday morning.
Artist Lynne Jordan, center, who painted the eagle, and others were on hand to watch the placement of the eagle on the concrete stand Monday. The project was more than a year in the works.
The eagle was brought in on a flatbed trailer. Here, city crews help position it before attaching it to the crane, which was provided by Reliable.
The eagle, which weighs more than 1,000 pounds, has a 20-foot wingspan.
The concrete wall where the eagle now sits, was constructed more than a year ago. At the time, many in the community questioned what was being constructed.
