Size Comparison
Habitat Comparison
عقاب رخماء
Large bodies of open water including coasts, rivers, and lakes with abundant fish and old-growth trees for nesting.
العقاب المخادعن
Tropical lowland rainforests, requiring large tracts of continuous forest with tall emergent trees for nesting.
Song & Call Comparison
عقاب رخماء
High-pitched, chattering whistle: a rapid 'kleek-kik-ik-ik-ik'. Surprisingly weak and thin for such a large raptor. Also gives a lower 'kwit-kwit' call near the nest.
العقاب المخادعن
Rarely heard; emits mournful whistled screams 'wheee-oo' and low croaking grunts near the nest. Vocalizations poorly documented given its remote Amazonian habitat.
Geographic Range & Migration
عقاب رخماء
North America from Alaska and Canada through the contiguous United States to northern Mexico.
العقاب المخادعن
Central and South America from southern Mexico through Brazil and northern Argentina. Range is shrinking due to deforestation.

About These Birds
عقاب رخماء
The bald eagle is the national bird and symbol of the United States. Once endangered due to DDT pesticide use, it made a remarkable recovery and was removed from the endangered species list in 2007. These powerful raptors build the largest tree nests of any bird, some weighing over two tons.
العقاب المخادعن
The harpy eagle is among the most powerful raptors in the world, with talons as large as a grizzly bear's claws. It is the national bird of Panama. Deforestation poses the greatest threat to this species, as each breeding pair requires a vast territory of undisturbed forest.
