Habitat

Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests, and flooded grasslands and savannas, among 10 distinct biome types spanning the Neotropic and Palearctic realms. 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).

Common Honeysuckle

Habitat

Typically found in diverse terrestrial habitats from tropical forests to temperate regions.

Range

Widely distributed across Asia (4 countries), Europe (11 countries), North America (Canada, United States), and Oceania and the Pacific (Australia).

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.

Common Honeysuckle

<em>Lonicera periclymenum</em>, commonly known as common honeysuckle or woodbine, is a climbing shrub belonging to the family Caprifoliaceae. It is native to and naturalized across Asia, Europe, North America, and Oceania, where it typically occurs in woodland edges, hedgerows, scrub, and gardens. The species favors well-drained soils in temperate climates and is a familiar component of mixed deciduous habitats throughout its range. It is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, reflecting a stable and widespread global population. Diet information for this species is not available in current records. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
