The Harvilla book is great. Really enjoyable (though I thought the start was a bit rough). I'm teaching a course on the 90s this term so I tend to read more on what I'm teaching even if I don't use it for class. Yeah, he's about 7 years younger than we are, and so his teen memories are our college years, but I think you'll enjoy it.
I feel exactly the same way about bald eagles, being of perhaps a similar age as you. I spent a lot of time in the outdoors as a kid, and saw lots of wildlife (including plenty of hawks), but never a single bald eagle. It still thrills me to see them. Foxes, too - never saw them in the 1970s and see them frequently now, though I think that’s less because their prevalence has changed and more because they’ve adapted to urban environments.
