Avian Street Signs in The Landings
Even our street names reflect an attachment to our surroundings. Take a tour of the community on our streets named just for birds. (We could do the same for streets named for trees, water, sailing and marine life!)

More eagles are coming! Of the golfing kind.
The Historical Dictionary of Golfing Terms (1993) believes that "Birdie", meaning a score of one stroke under Par on a given hole comes from the 19th century American slang term "bird", meaning anything excellent.
"Eagle", a score of two under par for a given hole, was clearly the extension of the theme of birds for good scores. A score of two under Par is, in some ways, a 'big birdie' and an Eagle is a big bird.
Two under par on a par three is seldom if ever referred to as an Eagle, but rather prized as a Hole-in-One.
Once our eagles return, we plan to list players who score Eagles (and Holes-in-One) and showcase photos of the holes where they did it.
Come tour our courses, eagle by eagle.
