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.

红鸢

赤鸢（约1.1公斤）是一种英俊的猛禽，具有棕红色羽毛、叉形尾羽和优美的飞行姿态。主要分布于欧洲，核心繁殖地在威尔士。以腐肉、蚯蚓和小型哺乳动物为食。无危；在受迫害至濒临灭绝后，通过重引入项目，英国种群数量显著恢复。
