Cliff Mason Bee

The Cliff Mason Bee, Osmia species, is one of numerous solitary bees in the large genus Osmia, family Megachilidae, whose females construct individual brood cells from mud, clay, or resin in crevices on cliff faces, rock walls, and outcrops. Mason bees are important pollinators of wildflowers and orchard crops, collecting pollen and nectar to provision their nests. Cliff mason bees take advantage of natural crevices in rock faces as nesting sites, plastering cells of mud mixed with sand grains or plant material to subdivide the crevice into individual egg chambers. Each cell contains a pollen-nectar mass food provision and a single egg before being sealed with a mud plug. Males typically emerge first in spring, followed by females, and adults live for only several weeks, devoted entirely to mating and nesting. Cliff-nesting Osmia species are found in rocky habitats across the Holarctic region, from Europe through Asia and North America. The availability of suitable nesting sites on cliff faces, combined with the proximity of diverse wildflower resources, determines population density. Many solitary bee populations have declined in recent decades due to loss of nesting habitat and floral resources. Specific conservation status depends on the species intended.

Golden Eagle

세계에서 가장 강력하고 널리 분포하는 맹금류 중 하나인 검독수리는 날개 폭이 2.2m에 달하며 북반구 전역의 산악 지형에 서식한다. 뛰어난 공중 사냥꾼으로 활공 비행과 시속 200km 이상의 가파른 강하를 이용해 토끼, 산토끼, 땅다람쥐, 때로는 어린 사슴과 여우를 포획한다. 많은 문화권에서 수천 년에 걸친 매사냥 전통의 중심에 있어 왔다.
