Белоголовый орлан
The national bird of the United States and a symbol of American conservation success, bald eagles have a wingspan of up to 2.4 meters and inhabit forests and wetlands near open water across North America. Powerful aerial predators and scavengers, they specialize in fish but also take waterfowl and carrion. Nearly extinct by the 1960s due to DDT poisoning and hunting, the bald eagle recovered dramatically following pesticide bans and the Endangered Species Act.
Серая синица
The cinereous tit (Parus cinereus) is a medium-sized passerine in the family Paridae, distributed across South and Southeast Asia from Pakistan and India east through Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, and the Malay Peninsula, and on several Indonesian islands. It inhabits a wide range of forested and wooded habitats from lowland tropical forest to foothill and montane forest, as well as gardens and cultivated areas with trees. The cinereous tit is closely related to the great tit (Parus major) of Europe and has sometimes been treated as a subspecies; the two are now recognized as distinct species based on morphological and genetic evidence. It feeds on insects, spiders, seeds, and berries, foraging actively in tree canopies and undergrowth. The species is classified as Not Evaluated by the IUCN. Populations are generally considered common across their South and Southeast Asian range. The cinereous tit adapts well to modified habitats including gardens and urban parks, making it relatively resilient to habitat change compared to more specialized forest species. It is entirely absent from Europe; database records citing Norway are artifacts of data entry error. Like other tits, it is a cavity nester, using natural holes in trees or artificial nest boxes. It is a popular species among birdwatchers in India and Southeast Asia.
