Habitat & Geographic Range

ハクトウワシ

Habitat

Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests, and flooded grasslands and savannas, among 10 distinct biome types spanning the Neotropic and Palearctic realms. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.

Range

Widely distributed across Europe (8 countries), North America (United States), and South America (Ecuador).

Cinereous Bulbul

Habitat

Typically found in various aerial, terrestrial, and aquatic environments.

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。

Cinereous Bulbul

The cinereous bulbul (Hemixos cinereus) is a medium-sized songbird in the family Pycnonotidae, found across Southeast Asia, including Thailand, Malaysia, Sumatra, and Borneo. It inhabits montane and hill forest, typically at elevations between 600 and 2,000 meters, where it forages for fruits, berries, and insects in the forest canopy and sub-canopy. The species is characterized by its gray-brown plumage, slightly crested head, whitish throat, and pale underparts that distinguish it from related bulbuls. It is often encountered in small groups or mixed-species foraging flocks in upland forest. The cinereous bulbul is classified as Least Concern by the IUCN, with stable populations across a moderately large range in the highland forests of the Malay Peninsula and the large islands of Sundaland. Its montane forest habitat makes it less susceptible to lowland deforestation than many related species, though continued conversion of hill forest for plantation agriculture at mid-elevations could affect populations. The genus Hemixos includes only a few species found across South and Southeast Asia, all associated with montane forest habitats. The cinereous bulbul is occasionally observed by birdwatchers visiting highland sites such as Fraser's Hill in Malaysia and Doi Inthanon in Thailand.
