Águila cabeza blanca
El ave nacional de los Estados Unidos y símbolo del éxito conservacionista americano, el águila cabeza blanca tiene una envergadura de hasta 2,4 metros y habita bosques y humedales próximos a aguas abiertas en toda Norteamérica. Casi extinta en la década de 1960 por el envenenamiento con DDT y la caza, se recuperó de forma notable gracias a las prohibiciones de pesticidas y la Ley de Especies en Peligro.
Escribano canelo
The cinnamon-breasted bunting (Emberiza tahapisi), also called the rock bunting or cinnamon-breasted rock bunting, is a small passerine in the family Emberizidae, widely distributed across sub-Saharan Africa and extending into the Arabian Peninsula and parts of western Asia. It inhabits rocky hillsides, boulder-strewn slopes, dry scrub, and open woodland with rocky outcrops, from sea level to highland elevations across its vast African range. The male is distinguished by bold streaky brown upperparts, a black and white striped head, and a rich cinnamon breast—its namesake feature. The species forages on the ground for seeds and invertebrates. The cinnamon-breasted bunting is classified as Least Concern by the IUCN, with a large, continuous African range and populations considered stable. It is one of the most widespread buntings in Africa. The species is entirely absent from Europe and Norway; database records to the contrary are errors arising from data entry or coordinate mistakes in species databases. This bunting is a common and conspicuous species throughout its African rocky habitat, often singing from prominent boulders. It is non-migratory across most of its range, though some montane populations may make limited altitudinal movements seasonally.
