About These Birds
pygargue à tête blanche
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.
Aigle noir
The Black Eagle is a large, all-black raptor with broad wings, a long tail, and distinctive yellow cere and feet, giving it an imposing silhouette in flight. It inhabits forested hills and mountains from the Indian subcontinent through Southeast Asia to Indonesia. It specializes in raiding the nests of other birds and squirrels, gliding slowly over the forest canopy to locate prey.
