ハクトウワシ
アメリカの国鳥であり保全の成功を象徴するハクトウワシは翼開長が最大2.4 mに達し、北米全域の水辺近くの森林や湿地に生息する。強力な空中捕食者兼腐肉食者で魚を主食とするが、水鳥や腐肉も捕食する。DDT汚染と狩猟によって1960年代にほぼ絶滅に瀕したが、農薬の使用禁止と絶滅危惧種法の施行により劇的に回復した。
Choaky Berry
The Choaky Berry (Eugenia axillaris), also known as White Stopper, is a native evergreen shrub or small tree in the family Myrtaceae, occurring in coastal scrub, hammock forests, and pine rockland habitats of South Florida, the Caribbean islands, and parts of Central America. It belongs to the large genus Eugenia, which encompasses over 1,000 species of tropical and subtropical trees and shrubs — many producing edible fruits used locally as food. White Stopper typically reaches 3–10 metres in height, producing opposite, elliptic leaves with a leathery texture and small, white, four-petalled flowers with numerous stamens. The fruits are small, fleshy drupes that ripen from green through red to black-purple and are consumed by birds, which serve as the primary seed dispersers. The species is an important component of subtropical coastal and hammock ecosystems in Florida, providing food for frugivorous birds including warblers, thrushes, and vireos during migration. Its dense branching provides nesting cover for native songbirds. The IUCN classifies Eugenia axillaris as Least Concern. The name stopper traditionally refers to the genus's reported astringent properties — the juice of the fruit was used medicinally to treat diarrhoea. It is a valuable native plant for restoration and landscaping in South Florida gardens.
