About These Birds

Eastern Bluebird

北米に生息するヒタキで、青い上面とオレンジ色の胸を持つ。巣箱の設置プログラムにより個体数が回復した。

シロエリハゲワシ

The griffon vulture is one of Europe's largest flying birds and a crucial scavenger in Mediterranean ecosystems. These social birds nest in large cliff colonies and can soar for hours using thermals without flapping. Vulture populations faced a crisis from the veterinary drug diclofenac, which proved fatal when consumed through contaminated carcasses.
