- Skagit Bald Eagle Natural Area Preserve (dnr.wa.gov)
This 1,546 acre preserve is a critical bald eagle winter roosting site that complements other areas protected along the Skagit River to provide habitat for bald eagles feeding on salmon carcasses. The preserve has mature forests of Douglas-fir, Pacific silver fir, western hemlock, and western redcedar, which provide the large trees that eagles prefer for protective winter night roosts.
- United States Declaration of Independence (Wikipedia)
The Declaration of Independence, formally titled The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America (in the engrossed version but not the original printing), is the founding document of the United States. On July 4, 1776, it was adopted unanimously by the 56 delegates to the Second Continental Congress, who had convened at the Pennsylvania State House, later renamed Independence Hall, in the colonial era capital of Philadelphia. The declaration explains to the world why the Thirteen Colonies regarded themselves as independent sovereign states no longer subject to British colonial rule.
