Pygargue à tête blanche

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.

myosotis des champs

<em>Myosotis arvensis</em> is an annual or biennial herbaceous plant in the family Boraginaceae, order Boraginales, commonly known as the field forget-me-not or common forget-me-not. The species is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, with widespread stable populations. <em>Myosotis arvensis</em> has a cosmopolitan distribution, recorded across Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, Oceania, and South America, where it has been widely naturalized beyond its native European and West Asian range. The plant typically grows in disturbed habitats including arable fields, roadsides, gardens, hedgerows, and open woodland, tolerating a broad range of soil types. It produces characteristic small, sky-blue five-petaled flowers with a yellow center, borne on curved, scorpioid cymes that straighten as the flowers open — a feature typical of the borage family. The plant typically reaches 15 to 40 centimeters in height and is covered in soft, spreading hairs. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
