About These Birds
Weißkopfseeadler
The bald eagle is the national bird and symbol of the United States. Once endangered due to DDT pesticide use, it made a remarkable recovery and was removed from the endangered species list in 2007. These powerful raptors build the largest tree nests of any bird, some weighing over two tons.
Tyrannenhaubenadler
The Black Hawk-eagle is a large, powerful forest raptor with black plumage, a prominent crest, yellow cere, and barred flight feathers visible in flight. It inhabits humid tropical forests from Mexico through Central America to Bolivia and Brazil, ranging from lowland rainforest to montane cloud forest. It preys on medium-sized birds, mammals, and reptiles, hunting within the forest canopy.
