pronoun walking eagle

[villas]

Thanks to all, this is very helpful.

My curiosity came from a logo that was used by a truck manufacturing 
company in Mexico, DINA. The logo was a walking eagle putting its left 
claw forward. Too bad it dissapeared as it was rather beautiful, it was 
replaced by some abstract corporate logo.
