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。

海岸扇尾莺

Cisticola haematocephalus, the coastal cisticola or red-headed cisticola, is a small passerine bird in the family Cisticolidae distributed across sub-Saharan Africa, inhabiting rank coastal and lowland grassland, tall reed beds adjacent to water bodies, and scrubby vegetation along rivers and wetland margins. The genus Cisticola, with over 50 species, represents one of the most speciose avian genera in Africa and is characterized by small, brown-streaked warblers that are notoriously difficult to distinguish in the field and are often best identified by voice. Cisticola haematocephalus is recognized by the rufous-chestnut crown that gives it its common and scientific names, distinguishing it from the numerous plain-crowned cisticola species with which it often shares habitat. Males perform conspicuous aerial display songs during the breeding season from exposed grass stems or in fluttering display flights. The species is assessed as Least Concern by the IUCN, being widespread across coastal and riverine lowlands of east, west, and central Africa. It constructs a characteristic deep, oval woven grass nest anchored within tall grass stems, often partially concealed by living grass folded around the nest entrance.
