'der Adler' and 'der Eagle' can both refer to the same bird. 'Adler' is the normal German word and fits in almost all situations, whether you are talking about the animal or a symbol. 'Eagle' is the English term and appears in German only in certain contexts, especially with American names, symbols, or fixed terms like 'Bald Eagle'. The confusion arises because both words can point to the same bird. If you are speaking German in general, 'Adler' is almost always more natural.
