Seeadler (Haliaeetus albicilla)


de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seeadler_(

Der Seeadler (Haliaeetus albicilla) ist ein Greifvogel aus der Familie der Habichtartigen (Accipitridae). Seeadler bewohnen gewässerreiche Landschaften Eurasiens von Grönland bis zum Pazifik. Sie ernähren sich überwiegend von Fischen, Wasservögeln und Aas. Die Art wurde in Mittel- und Westeuropa durch menschliche Verfolgung und die Vergiftung durch das Insektizid DDT fast ausgerottet. Seit Mitte der 1980er Jahre nimmt der Bestand in weiten Teilen Europas wieder stark zu.

White-tailed eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla)

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White-tailed_eagle

The white-tailed eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla) is a very large species of sea eagle widely distributed across temperate Eurasia. As are all eagles, it is a member of the family Accipitridae (or accipitrids) which includes other diurnal raptors such as hawks, kites, and harriers. One of up to eleven members in the genus Haliaeetus, which are commonly called sea eagles, it is also referred to as the white-tailed sea-eagle.[2] Sometimes, it is known as the ern or erne (depending on spelling by sources),[3] gray sea eagle[4] and Eurasian sea eagle[5]

While found across a very wide range, today breeding as far west as Greenland and Iceland across to as far east in Hokkaido, Japan, they are often scarce and very spottily distributed as a nesting species, mainly due to human activities. These have included habitat alterations and destruction of wetlands, about a hundred years of systematic persecution by humans (from the early 1800s to around World War II) followed by inadvertent poisonings and epidemics of nesting failures due to various manmade chemical pesticides and organic compounds, which have threatened eagles since roughly the 1950s and continue to be a potential concern. Due to this, the white-tailed eagle was considered endangered or extinct in several countries.[3][6][7][8] However, some populations have recovered well due to some governmental protections and dedicated conservationists and naturalists protecting habitats and nesting sites and partially regulating poaching and pesticide usage, as well as careful reintroductions into parts of their former range.[9][10][11]

White-tailed eagles usually live most of the year near large bodies of open water, including both coastal saltwater areas and inland freshwater, and require an abundant food supply and old-growth trees or ample sea cliffs for nesting.[3][9] They are considered a close cousin of the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), which occupies a similar niche in North America.
