About These Birds
Белоголовый орлан
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.

The Augur Buzzard is a large, common hawk found in open country and woodland edges across eastern and southern Africa. Weighing about 1,090g with a broad wingspan of 82cm, it typically shows white underparts and a rufous tail. It hunts from soaring flight or elevated perches, taking rodents, lizards, and large insects.
