Hi, just checking back here to see if you located a plastic eagle. 
I've done additional research but still no results in a hard plastic
model.

There is no answer at this time.

Paulreveere, I certainly tried for you but I didn't find what I
envisioned to be the subject of your query.  To ascertain the actual
size of an American Bald Eagle, I first searched for that and
discovered "Size - The female bald eagle is 35 to 37 inches, slightly
larger than the male. With a wingspan which varies from 79 to 90
inches.  The male bald eagle has a body length from 30 to 34 inches.
The wingspan ranges from 72 to 85 inches" at
http://www.baldeagleinfo.com/eagle/eagle8.html

Then, I searched for almost two hours examining links for a plastic
eagle.  The only one I could locate that was plastic and realistic was
at Rolling Motion.  They have a plastic eagle, life-size for $54.95 -
it is described as "Wingspan - 5 feet - NO GLUING REQUIRED - Comes
assembled.  Full color graphics.
Impressive attention to detail"  See
http://rollingmotion.safeshopper.com/129/97.htm?542.  I found this
from http://rollingmotion.safeshopper.com/129/cat129.htm?110 - The
text states "Made of Tyvek ("plastic paper") - waterproof & very
durable.  Great to fly over your garden, dock, deck, pool, boat, or as
a decoy.  Realistically depicts a bird in flight."

Since this is plastic paper as opposed to a hard plastic, I hesitate
to post this as an answer.  It may be that another Researcher will
find you the hard plastic one but I was unable to do so.  And I am
amazed that one was not easily found by me.  However, if you wish to
accept my research as an answer, please post thusly and I'll claim the
fee.

Also, you might look locally for a concrete outdoor sculpture business
and see if they have an eagle, then endeavor to paint it yourself with
outdoor paints.

Here's an artist who makes decoy-style birds, including eagles, by
commission, for indoor or outdoor display.

http://www.allenlopez.com/html/commissions.html

He doesn't list any prices, but these are hand-crafted and made to
order so I imagine they are probably kind of expensive.  They are
certainly very detailed and beautiful. I hope it's of some help to
you.

Good luck!
