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。

Snowy Owl

The snowy owl is the heaviest North American owl and one of the most charismatic Arctic birds. Unlike most owls, it is largely diurnal, necessitated by the continuous daylight of Arctic summers. Snowy owl irruptions — periodic mass southward movements — are tied to lemming population cycles.
