Alaska
is America's last great true frontier, an unspoiled wilderness of
glimmering glaciers, abundant forests, towering mountains, exotic
wildlife, and waterfront communities. Alaska is a destination
full of Native American culture - a step back in time to the days of gold
rush saloons and oil booms. Alaska simply put, is a once in a
lifetime, dream vacation.
It's All About
Eyes
FACT: Eagles Eyesight
All eagles are
renowned for their excellent eyesight, and the bald
eagle is no exception. They have two foveae, or centers
of focus, that allow the birds to see both forward and
to the side at the same time.
Eagles, like all
birds, have color vision. An eagle's eye is almost as large as
a human's, but its sharpness is at least four times that of a
person with perfect vision. The eagle can probably identify a
rabbit moving almost a mile away. That means that an eagle
flying at an altitude of 1000 feet over open country could
spot prey over an area of almost 3 square miles from a fixed
position

Unbelievable Fact:

sounds up to 188 decibels. This is the loudest sound produced by
