About These Birds

Bänderhabicht

The Brown Goshawk, <em>Accipiter fasciatus</em>, is a medium-sized raptor in the family Accipitridae (Hawks, Eagles & Kites), found across forested habitats within its range. As an accipiter, it is likely an agile aerial predator adapted to hunting within dense woodland. Detailed plumage and behavioral descriptions of this species are limited in the available literature beyond nesting data. The species is assessed as Least Concern. Nesting records indicate a platform-style nest (type PL), with incubation lasting approximately 29 to 33 days …

Weißkopfseeadler

Der Weißkopfseeadler ist der Nationalvogel und das Symbol der Vereinigten Staaten. Einst durch den Einsatz des Pestizids DDT gefährdet, erholte sich der Bestand bemerkenswert und wurde 2007 von der Liste der gefährdeten Arten gestrichen. Diese kraftvollen Greifvögel bauen die größten Baumhorste aller Vögel, manche mit einem Gewicht von über zwei Tonnen.
