Song & Call Comparison

黑背鹰

白头海雕

鸣唱

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.

About These Birds

黑背鹰

黑背苍鹰（Accipiter melanochlamys）是一种中型紧凑的鹰，背部和肩部深黑色，下体浅色具横纹。属鹰科（Accipitridae），分布于新几内亚山地森林，海拔可达4,000米。以鸟类和蜥蜴为食。

白头海雕

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.
