About These Birds
Bald Eagle
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.
aguilucho pálido
El aguilucho pálido (unos 400 g) presenta un claro dimorfismo sexual: el macho es gris pálido con las puntas negras de las alas, la hembra es parda con la rabadilla blanca. Se reproduce en brezales, humedales y tundra de Eurasia y Norteamérica. Caza volando bajo sobre terreno abierto con las alas en V, buscando principalmente topillos, pájaros y lagartos. Las poblaciones han disminuido en muchas regiones por la pérdida de hábitat y la perturbación de los nidos.
