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.

Ilex aggregata is a holly in the family Aquifoliaceae. The genus Ilex is the largest genus in its family, comprising approximately 600 species distributed across tropical and subtropical regions of all continents except Antarctica and Australia, with diversity centers in South America and Asia. I. aggregata appears to be a South American or neotropical species, consistent with the high diversity of the genus in that region. Hollies are evergreen or deciduous shrubs and trees with typically leathery, often spiny leaves. They are dioecious, with male and female flowers borne on separate plants, and produce characteristic fleshy drupes (berries) that are often red, orange, or black when ripe, providing food for birds and other frugivores that disperse the seeds. Many Ilex species are adapted to forest understory, forest margins, and montane habitats. Holly berries and leaves are generally toxic to mammals, though consumed by certain birds. I. aggregata is classified as Least Concern by the IUCN. Detailed habitat and distribution data for this species are limited in publicly available records.
