白头海雕

白头海雕是美国国鸟，也是美国生态保护史上的成功案例，曾因滴滴涕（DDT）的广泛使用而濒临灭绝，经保护措施的实施后种群数量已显著恢复。该物种在IUCN红色名录中被评估为无危（LC），以白色头颈和尾羽与深棕色体羽形成的鲜明对比为主要识别特征。它们主要以鱼类为食，也会捕食哺乳动物和腐肉。

Cluster Sanicle

Sanicula odorata, the cluster sanicle, is a perennial herbaceous plant in the family Apiaceae native to eastern North America, found from southern Canada through the eastern United States. It inhabits rich mesic deciduous forests, floodplain woods, and moist shaded slopes where it thrives in deep, well-drained to moderately moist soils rich in organic matter. The plant produces deeply palmate compound leaves arising from basal rosettes and sends up slender flowering stems bearing small umbels of white or cream flowers clustered in tight heads, giving the species its common name. As with many Apiaceae members, the flowers attract a wide range of small pollinators including native bees, flies, and beetles. Sanicula odorata is considered Not Evaluated by the IUCN, though it is present across a substantial geographic area and not considered at risk across most of its range. The genus Sanicula, known as sanicles or black snakeroots, comprises approximately 40 species distributed globally. Several sanicle species have traditional medicinal uses; S. odorata has a faint pleasant scent noted in its specific epithet. The plant typically blooms in late spring and early summer, and its hooked fruits cling to passing animals and clothing for dispersal, a strategy known as epizoochory.
