Song & Call Comparison

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

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.

胡兀鷲

胡兀鹫是欧亚大陆山地的大型猛禽，翼展可达280厘米。以橙棕色的胸腹部和下颌的黑色须羽著称。主要食腐，以骨骼为主食，将骨头从高空投掷至岩石上使其破碎，然后吞食骨髓。分布于比利牛斯山至中亚、非洲的高山地带。
