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。
ラケットカワセミ
<em>Tanysiptera galatea</em> is a strikingly colored kingfisher in the family Alcedinidae, native to the Maluku Islands and New Guinea in the Australasian region. The species is characterized by elongated central tail feathers, a vivid blue and white plumage, and a distinctive red bill. It inhabits lowland tropical forests, forest edges, and secondary growth, where it forages for invertebrates, small lizards, and earthworms typically caught by diving to the ground from low perches. The species nests in arboreal termite mounds, excavating tunnel nests that provide insulation and protection. Its occurrence record in Norway is a clear database artifact; the true range is confined to the islands of eastern Indonesia and New Guinea. The IUCN classifies this species as Least Concern owing to its broad distribution and large populations across suitable forest habitats. Biological traits including average lifespan, body length, and body weight are not consistently recorded across populations in standardized databases, and detailed dietary data remain poorly documented. Conservation concerns center on the continued integrity of lowland forests within its range, particularly in areas facing agricultural conversion and logging pressure.
