Eagle Gate 
The Eagle Gate, which spans State Street at South Temple, was erected in
1859 to mark the entrance to Brigham Young's property at the mouth of City
Creek Canyon. Replaced several times over the years, the present gate has a
76-foot span, topped by a 4,000-pound, bronze eagle, with a wingspan of 20
feet.

The original wooden eagle is on display at the Daughters of Utah Pioneers
Museum located at 300 North Main Street, phone 1-801-538-1050.

I think what Patty is asking is - what eagle?  Where are the details of how
Brigham Young had an eagle to patrol his garden?  Is the eagle, the eagle
gate or is there some other story about an eagle we haven't heard?
