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.
Black-breasted Buzzard
The Black-breasted Buzzard is a large, powerful Australian raptor with brown upperparts, a distinctive black breast patch, and pale underparts with a rufous wash. It is found in arid and semi-arid interior Australia, inhabiting open plains, mulga scrub, and lightly wooded grasslands. It feeds on rabbits, lizards, and carrion, and is noted for its ability to use stones as tools to break open emu eggs.
