Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.

Range

Widely distributed across Europe (8 countries), North America (United States), and South America (Ecuador).

นกแสก

Habitat

Typically found in diverse ecosystems where prey species are available.

Range

Widely distributed across Africa (Seychelles), Europe (6 countries), North America (United States), and South America (Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela). Population trends indicate a declining trajectory in parts of its range.

American Bald Eagle

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.

นกแสก

The most widespread owl species on Earth, barn owls are found on every continent except Antarctica and in almost every habitat type from tropical forests to temperate farmland. Characterized by their heart-shaped facial disc that funnels sound to asymmetrically placed ears, enabling them to locate prey in total darkness by sound alone. They swallow prey whole and regurgitate compressed pellets of indigestible bone and fur, making them valuable rodent control agents for agriculture.
