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。

モグリウミツバメ

<em>Pelecanoides urinatrix</em>, the common diving petrel, is a seabird in the family Procellariidae distributed across the Southern Ocean and subantarctic regions, with records extending to Norway. This species typically inhabits open marine environments and coastal cliffs, where it nests in burrows on islands and steep shorelines. The common diving petrel is notable for its highly specialized diving behavior, using its wings to propel itself underwater in pursuit of small fish, crustaceans, and zooplankton. Its compact body, short wings, and strong feet make it well adapted to both aerial and aquatic locomotion, though flight is typically low and whirring. <em>Pelecanoides urinatrix</em> is generally nocturnal at its nesting colonies, helping to reduce predation risk. Adults typically form long-term pair bonds and raise a single chick per breeding season in underground burrows. The species is assessed as Least Concern, though some island populations have experienced pressure from introduced predators. Its ecology reflects a highly marine-adapted lifestyle across cold southern waters.
