1. Native American Sea Eagle Marker
Native American Sea Eagle. Dollywood Park. Did you know…Our National bird is of the order falconiformes and first appeared 25 million years ago. It is the only native American eagle and the only eagle species living strictly in North America.
This regal-looking bird is a superb hunter. Thanks in part to its incredible vision-which is roughly that of a man looking through six-power binoculars. Soaring at dizzy height, it can detect the smallest motion on ground or in water.
Other survival equipment includes its long broad wings with 20 inch primary feathers which can be spread like fingers. These allow soaring without flapping and provide great lift at slow speeds.
Its diet is 90% fish, which may be freshly dead or alive. They also feed on rabbit and injured waterfowl. . This historical marker is in Pigeon Forge in Sevier County Tennessee
