Weißkopf-Seeadler

The national bird of the United States and a symbol of American conservation success, bald eagles have a wingspan of up to 2.4 meters and inhabit forests and wetlands near open water across North America. Powerful aerial predators and scavengers, they specialize in fish but also take waterfowl and carrion. Nearly extinct by the 1960s due to DDT poisoning and hunting, the bald eagle recovered dramatically following pesticide bans and the Endangered Species Act.

Sclerotinia borealis is a fungal pathogen in the family Sclerotiniaceae that causes snow mold disease on grasses and small grain cereals in cold climates. It develops at temperatures just above freezing under persistent snow cover, forming characteristic black sclerotia that persist in soil between seasons. It is assessed as Least Concern by conservation assessors.
