Thorondor (at that time called Thorndor), and the other eagles have a prominent part in The Fall of Gondolin - one of JRRT's earliest Middle Earth writings. Thorondor was also stated to have been a vistitor to the Halls of Manwe in the Lost Tales. So, I think it somewhat doubtful that Tolkien ever changed his opinion of Eagles.
