"As any eagle can show you, a six-foot [183-centimeter] wingspan makes travel a lot easier among the magnificently corrugated Rocky Mountains. Although cliff-nesting golden eagles are most common, bald eagles like the adult perched on this subalpine fir also occur, especially along the edges of rivers and lakes."

—From the National Geographic book Yellowstone to Yukon, 2000
