Also, ties in with “eagle eyes”As the Bald Eagle is most closely associated with the Pacific Northwest, and the Coast Salish who have a long history of honouring the eagle, it would make sense to name it 'Vision' (same spelling in both English and French) of course
Four Feathers
The four sections of this guide represent traditional stages of learning: vision, gathering, knowledge, and sharing. Feathers are sacred for Coast Salish peoples (Charles, 2018), and each section has its own feathered bird that serves as a symbol for that stage:
Eagle/QELENSEN: Vision
The Eagle is a sacred symbol to Indigenous people. The eagle is the leader of all flying birds. The eagle is the strongest, has the greatest vision, is well-balanced, soars through the skies, and the eagle flies the highest to carry messages of prayer to our Creator/XALS.

I think I remember voting for the Cobra Chicken, but apparently it’s the Gray Jay (Whiskeyjack).
Canada's new national bird is the gray jay
The diminutive gray jay beat out its more famous feathered friends, such as the Canada goose.

I agree. The Bald Eagle is already taken. There are lots of predator birds and not so predatory birds that could be used.
Pete the Pigeon. Sammy the Seagull. Freddy the Falcon.
Of course you can make the names gender neutral so as not to offend anyone.
