Habitat & Geographic Range
白头海雕
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.
Widely distributed across Europe (8 countries), North America (United States), and South America (Ecuador).
Cobble Forget-me-not

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。
Cobble Forget-me-not
Cobble forget-me-not (Myosotis schistosa) is a small annual or biennial herb in the family Boraginaceae, native to riverine and coastal habitats in parts of Europe, particularly associated with slate, shale, or schist substrates and disturbed gravelly or rocky ground. Like other Myosotis species, it bears the typical small, five-petalled blue flowers with a yellow eye that give forget-me-nots their widespread recognition. The genus Myosotis encompasses dozens of species distributed across Europe, Asia, North America, and the Southern Hemisphere, many of which are adapted to specific, often nutrient-poor or geologically specialised substrates. Cobble forget-me-not is assessed as Data Deficient by the IUCN, reflecting limited information on its distribution, population size, and ecology. Botanical surveys in appropriate habitats across its inferred range—particularly slate-rich riverbanks and coastal cobble in Europe—are needed to clarify its taxonomy, distribution, and conservation requirements. Like many small annual herbs in disturbed habitats, it may be locally common in suitable microsites but easily overlooked due to its small size and annual habit.
