Besides, I'm just thrilled to have seen this. Usually, I'm the one going "what, where" when someone's pointing authoritatively at Orion's Belt or some such. This time, I saw it on my own--and then confirmed it with that wikipedia article I linked to in the post. But, unless someone knows what was going through the mind of the person who named it, it just a best guess.<br /><br />AH, I'm not sure which children's classic I'd attach this to, but, then, I'm kind of weak on many of the classics. But one of my favorites is one that you apparently love, too: Pippi Longstocking.

I always think it' a mystery because the boulder itself also kind of looks like an eagle's head, so I wonder if there is one right answer to the Eagle Rock.
