Interesting - the only commercial stereo lenticular I have is a postcard
with an "eagle on a mountain" picture. I'll have to check it and see whether
it matches your description. I had it on display at work for years, but I
moved my office last September, and I don't remember whether I unpacked it.

I hadn't thought about how it was taken or what kind of eagle it was -
I think golden eagles are the most common variety in the American Southwest
and possibly in other regions as well.
