About These Birds
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.
Bermuda Hawk
The Bermuda Hawk was a large hawk that was endemic to Bermuda and became extinct shortly after human settlement of the islands in the early 17th century. Known only from subfossil bones, it was probably a broad-winged raptor that preyed on seabirds and other island fauna. Habitat destruction and hunting contributed to its extinction.
