About These Birds

オウギワシ

ハーピーワシは世界で最も強力な猛禽類の一つで、ハイイログマの爪ほどの大きさの鉤爪を持つ。パナマの国鳥。大規模な未撹乱の森林の生息地を必要とするため、森林破壊がこの種の最大の脅威。

Japanese White-eye

The Japanese white-eye is a familiar garden bird across East Asia, beloved in Japan where it is called mejiro. These sociable birds form flocks outside the breeding season and are important pollinators of plum and cherry blossoms. Unfortunately, introduced populations in Hawaii have become invasive, competing with native honeycreepers.
