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.

muscari faux-botryde

<em>Muscari botryoides</em>, commonly known as common grape hyacinth, is a bulbous flowering plant belonging to the genus Muscari within the family Asparagaceae. The species inhabits grasslands, wetlands, forests, and cultivated landscapes, demonstrating considerable versatility across managed and natural environments. Its native and naturalized range includes Japan in Asia, fourteen European countries, and populations in both Canada and the United States in North America. Common grape hyacinth is assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. The species typically produces dense racemes of small, urn-shaped blue to violet flowers in early spring, making it a recognizable element of both wild and garden landscapes across its range. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
