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.
Fledermausaar
The Bat Hawk is a medium-sized raptor found across sub-Saharan Africa and parts of Southeast Asia, inhabiting forest edges and open woodland near water. It is specially adapted for crepuscular hunting, with large eyes and a remarkably wide gape that allows it to swallow bats and swifts whole in flight. Its dark brown plumage and swift, agile flight make it well-suited to hunting in dim light at dusk and dawn.
