About These Birds
Andensperber
The Plain-breasted Hawk, <em>Accipiter ventralis</em>, is a raptor in the family Accipitridae associated with forested habitats in the Andes and adjacent regions of South America. Detailed plumage and behavioral descriptions of this species are limited in the available literature. It is believed to inhabit montane forest environments typical of Andean slopes, where it would likely hunt small birds and other vertebrates in a manner consistent with related accipiters. Diet, nesting habits, clutch size, and vocalizations have not been reliably characterized …
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.
