Size Comparison
Habitat Comparison
흰머리수리
Large bodies of open water including coasts, rivers, and lakes with abundant fish and old-growth trees for nesting.
그리폰독수리
Mountains, cliffs, and open grasslands. Nests on cliff ledges in colonies. Requires thermals for soaring flight.
Song & Call Comparison
흰머리수리
High-pitched, chattering whistle: a rapid 'kleek-kik-ik-ik-ik'. Surprisingly weak and thin for such a large raptor. Also gives a lower 'kwit-kwit' call near the nest.
그리폰독수리
Generally silent; hisses and grunts at carrion with other vultures. Gives low croaking 'arrr' near nest. At colonies produces cackling and grunting — not melodic vocalizations.
Geographic Range & Migration

North America from Alaska and Canada through the contiguous United States to northern Mexico.
그리폰독수리
Southern Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, and Central Asia. Resident in most of its range.

About These Birds
흰머리수리
흰머리독수리는 미국의 국조이자 국가 상징입니다. DDT 살충제 사용으로 인해 한때 멸종위기에 처했으나 놀라운 회복을 보여 2007년 멸종위기종 목록에서 제외되었습니다. 이 강력한 맹금류는 어떤 새보다 가장 큰 나무 둥지를 만들며, 어떤 것들은 2톤 이상이 됩니다.
그리폰독수리
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.
