Geography Trivia
1. Alaska is the northernmost, westernmost AND easternmost
state.
It’s not hard to imagine Alaska being the northernmost and
westernmost state in the US. Surprisingly, however, Alaska is
also the easternmost. Parts of Alaska stretch so far west that
they actually reach the Eastern Hemisphere.

Marsh Owl (Asio capensis ssp.tingitanus) in flight Morocco_North Africa_w_0363
The Morocco Marsh Owls are an isolated and dwindling population. So much so that they are now a critically endangered species in Morocco.
This fragmented population is geographically separated from other breeding Marsh Owls by the huge arid area to the south called the Sahel. The Moroccan Marsh Owls are in fact a sub-species Asio capensis ssp. tingitanus. The only other other sub-species is Asio Capensis hova, in Madagascar.
The main cause of their decline in Morocco is habitat loss due to draining of large marsh areas with the expansion of agriculture.
