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.
Aguja

It has a distinctive dark grey breast and blackish upperparts contrasting with white underparts barred with grey. It inhabits open and semi-open country including grasslands, shrubby hillsides, and forest edges, feeding on rabbits, rodents, and other medium-sized vertebrates.
