The forest is also rich in bird life, with 170 species including the endemic Brown-winged Kingfishers ( Pelargopsis amauroptera ) and the globally threatened Lesser Adjutants ( Leptoptilos javanicus ) and Masked Finfoots ( Heliopais personata ) and birds of prey such as the ospreys ( Pandion haliaetus ), White-bellied Sea Eagles ( Haliaeetus leucogaster ) and Grey-headed Fish-eagles ( Ichthyophaga ichthyaetus ).

Their closest relatives are the fishing eagles in the genus Ichthyophaga, very similar to the tropical Haliaeetus species.

Ichthyophaga is a genus of two species of eagles, closely related to the sea-eagles in the genus Haliaeetus.

The African Fish Eagle ( Haliaeetus vocifer ) or – to distinguish it from the true fish eagles ( Ichthyophaga ), the African Sea Eagle – is a large species of eagle that is found throughout sub-Saharan Africa wherever large bodies of open water occur that have an abundant food supply.

The Madagascar Fish Eagle ( Haliaeetus vociferoides ) or Madagascar Sea-eagle ( to distinguish it from the Ichthyophaga fishing-eagles ) is a large bird of prey in the family Accipitridae which also includes many other diurnal raptors such as kites, buzzards and harriers.

Compared to Haliaeetus eagles, the Golden is usually longer-tailed and is distinctly smaller-headed, with broad wings that are more hawk-like and less plank-like in shape.

Whereas more Haliaeetus eagles are heavily streaked in their juvenile phase, the Golden has a more solidly golden-brown coloration.

Interspecies competition occurs regularly with large Haliaeetus eagles, principally White-tailed ( H. albicilla ) and Bald Eagles ( H. leucocephalus ).

After spawning they die and their carcasses provide a feast for gatherings of mink ( Neovison vison ), bears ( Ursus americanus ), and Bald eagles ( Haliaeetus leucocephalus ).

Zoologists generally exclude from the ‘ feral ’ category animals which were genuinely wild before they escaped from captivity: neither lions escaped from a zoo nor the sea eagles ( Haliaeetus albicilla ) recently re-introduced into the UK are regarded as ' feral '.

The wingspan of the Harpy Eagle is surpassed by several large eagles who live in more open habitats, such as those in the Haliaeetus and Aquila genera.

They are smaller than the Haliaeetus eagles, though overlapping in size with the smaller species of that genus.

The African Fish Eagle is a species placed in the genus Haliaeetus ( sea eagles ).

Although, the fish-eating European White-tailed Eagles ( Haliaeetus albicilla ) could have caught fish in the River Trent, which lies a mere 4 miles south-east of Arnold, on the other side of the Mapperley Plains ridge.

The tail is short and wedge-shaped as in all Haliaeetus species.

Western Capercaillie, Tetrao urogallus, and White-tailed Eagle, Haliaeetus albicilla, are reintroductions of formerly breeding species.

Philosophers of biology argue about whether biological species, like the Bald Eagle ( Haliaeetus leucocephalus ), are natural kinds ; even such familiar species as bird, cat, and dog cannot be established as natural types, since any plausible definitions of those species leaves the classification of some animals ambiguous.

Each of these consists of a white-and a tan-headed species, and the tails are entirely white in all adult Haliaeetus except Sanford's, white-bellied, and Pallas's.

Together, they form a distinct species pair lineage of sea-eagles, which separated soon after the divergence of the genus ; they retain the ancestral dark beak, talon, and eye, but unlike other Haliaeetus species, they always have at least partially white tails, even while juvenile.

The White-tailed Eagle ( Haliaeetus albicilla ) — also called the Sea Eagle, Erne ( sometimes Ern ), and White-tailed Sea-eagle — is a large bird of prey in the family Accipitridae which includes other raptors such as hawks, kites, and harriers.

Throughout the distribution of American marten, other predators include the great horned owl ( Bubo virginianus ), bald eagle ( Haliaeetus leucocephalus ), golden eagle ( Aquila chrysaetos ), Canada lynx ( L. canadensis ), mountain lion ( Puma concolor ), fisher ( M. pennanti ), wolverine ( Gulo gulo ), grizzly bear ( Ursus arctos horribilis ), American black bear ( U. americanus ), and gray wolf ( C. lupus ).

A sea eagle ( also called erne or ern, mostly in reference to the White-tailed Eagle ) is any of the birds of prey in the genus Haliaeetus in the bird of prey family Accipitridae.

Haliaeetus is possibly one of the oldest genera of living birds.

The rate of molecular evolution in Haliaeetus is fairly slow, as is to be expected in long-lived birds which take years to successfully reproduce.

Sea eagle mainly refers to Sea eagle, birds of prey of the genus Haliaeetus.

The San Juan Islands host the greatest concentration of Bald Eagles ( Haliaeetus leucocephalus ) in the continental United States.

The White-bellied Sea Eagle ( Haliaeetus leucogaster ), also known as the White-breasted Sea Eagle, is a large diurnal bird of prey in the family Accipitridae.

Photos of a Bald Eagle ( Haliaeetus leucocephalus ) exceptionally attacking an adult Trumpeter Swan in mid-flight were taken recently, although the swan managed to survive the predation attempt.

Bird species sighted in Thung Yai include White-winged Wood Duck ( Cairina scutulata ), Kalij Pheasant ( Lophura leucomelanos ), Grey Peacock-pheasant ( Polyplectron bicalcaratum ), Green Peafowl ( Pavo muticus ), Spot-billed Pelican ( Pelecanus philippensis ), Oriental Darter ( Anhinga melanogaster ), Painted Stork ( Mycteria leucocephala ), Greater Adjutant ( Leptoptilos dubius ), Red-headed Vulture ( Sarcogyps calvus ), Mountain Hawk-eagle ( Nisaetus nipalensis ), Lesser Fish Eagle ( Ichthyophaga humilis ) and all six species of Hornbill ( Bucerotidae ) living in Mainland Southeast Asia.

A 2005 molecular study found that the genus is paraphyletic and subsumes Ichthyophaga, the species diverging into a temperate and tropical group.

The Grey-headed Fish Eagle ( Ichthyophaga ichthyaetus ) is a bird of prey.

While the eagles generally seem to prefer flying lemurs where available, most other animals found in the Philippines, short of adult ungulates and humans, may be taken as prey.

They seem to prefer desolate, lightly-populated areas where predators who provide many bones, such as wolves and Golden eagles, have healthy populations.

Golden eagles and Eurasian eagle-owls are habitually predators of this species and may even prefer them as prey, such as on the Swedish island of Gotland.

Other finds included a 7th century Kentish jewellery book-clasp depicting eagles grasping a fish.

The waters contain fish and other aquatic life and attract hundreds of ducks, as well as eagles and other raptors.

The rocky islet where the woman had pointed her canoe towards doom thus was named Spirit Island which was once a nesting ground for eagles that fed on fish below the falls.

This long stretch of free-flowing river provides important natural habitats for a variety of wildlife, including white-tail deer, otter, beaver, turtles, sandhill cranes, eagles, hawks, and a variety of fish species.

The area is also home to a diverse array of wild fish and animal species, including nine species of salmonid, plus bears, large cats, and eagles.

The park is also home to two nesting pairs of bald eagles, who can frequently be seen flying over Lake Washington and diving to the water's surface to catch fish and ducks.

Bald eagles have been sighted there, and ospreys nest atop nearby trees and industrial towers and come to the river to fish.

There you will find marine exhibits, including a touch tank, Coastal Connections boat tour that will take you out into Newman Sound to see bald eagles, moon jelly fish, snow crab and so much more.

Bald eagles, golden eagles and osprey also frequent the area and live off the fish populations.

This process explains why predatory fish such as swordfish and sharks or birds like osprey and eagles have higher concentrations of mercury in their tissue than could be accounted for by direct exposure alone.

Three obvious species pairs exist: white-tailed and bald eagles, Sanford's and white-bellied sea eagles, and the African and Madagascar fish eagles.

It has a noted population of kingfishers, storks, pelicans, flamingos and fish eagles.

Like other sea eagles, the African Fish Eagle has structures on its toes called spiricules that allows it to grasp fish and other slippery prey.

For example, bald eagles, ospreys, and peregrine falcons were facing extinction because their food sources ( fish and other birds ) were contaminated with toxins.
