The Bald Eagle Next Door

A bald eagle is an exciting, rare sighting for most Americans. But on this Alaskan island, our national symbol is as common as a beachside seagull. You can find them everywhere—lurking above the post office, inspecting the trash, even waiting patiently for the local fishing boats to return with the day's catch.

Diving For Golf Balls in America's Most Famous Water Hazard

Golf isn't known for being a forgiving game, and the 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass in Florida is notorious for being one of the toughest par-3s on the PGA Tour. So what happens when golfer after golfer shanks his tee shot into the "drink"? That is where Gordon Davis comes in.
