About These Birds

Fleckschwanzsperber

The Spot-tailed Goshawk, <em>Accipiter trinotatus</em>, is a member of the family Accipitridae endemic to the Indonesian island of Sulawesi and nearby smaller islands. It is associated with coastal and forested habitats, suggesting it occupies a variety of wooded environments from lowland coastal forests to inland forested areas. Detailed plumage and behavioral descriptions of this species are limited in the available literature. As an island-endemic raptor, the Spot-tailed Goshawk has a naturally restricted range, making habitat preservation on Sulawesi particularly important …

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.
