American dragonhead

The American dragonhead (Physostegia parviflora) is a species in the genus Physostegia. Typically found in diverse terrestrial habitats from tropical forests to temperate regions.

Among the most powerful and widely distributed raptors in the world, golden eagles have wingspans reaching 2.2 meters and inhabit mountainous terrain across the Northern Hemisphere. Supreme aerial hunters, they use soaring flight and steep dives at speeds over 200 km/h to capture rabbits, hares, ground squirrels, and occasionally young deer and foxes. In many cultures they have been central to falconry traditions spanning millennia.
