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。

Cluster Sanicle

Sanicula odorata, the cluster sanicle, is a perennial herbaceous plant in the family Apiaceae native to eastern North America, found from southern Canada through the eastern United States. It inhabits rich mesic deciduous forests, floodplain woods, and moist shaded slopes where it thrives in deep, well-drained to moderately moist soils rich in organic matter. The plant produces deeply palmate compound leaves arising from basal rosettes and sends up slender flowering stems bearing small umbels of white or cream flowers clustered in tight heads, giving the species its common name. As with many Apiaceae members, the flowers attract a wide range of small pollinators including native bees, flies, and beetles. Sanicula odorata is considered Not Evaluated by the IUCN, though it is present across a substantial geographic area and not considered at risk across most of its range. The genus Sanicula, known as sanicles or black snakeroots, comprises approximately 40 species distributed globally. Several sanicle species have traditional medicinal uses; S. odorata has a faint pleasant scent noted in its specific epithet. The plant typically blooms in late spring and early summer, and its hooked fruits cling to passing animals and clothing for dispersal, a strategy known as epizoochory.
