Complete Eagle Species List - Types of Eagles By Melissa Mayntz Updated November 07, 2016. Eagles are powerful predators, important cultural and societal symbols and some of the most sought-after raptors for birders to add to their life lists . Depending on how different species are classified there are more than 60 eagle species in the world, with the majority found in Africa and Asia. Birders who recognize the different types of eagles and are familiar with multiple eagle species will better appreciate the diversity of these amazing raptors. Despite the strength and intelligence of these birds, however, eagles are also exceptionally vulnerable to different risks raptors face because of their long reproductive cycles and slow population growth. More than 30 eagle species – nearly half of all species of eagles – are considered vulnerable, threatened or endangered . Knowing which species need extra protection is the first step toward protecting all of these noble raptors. Types of Eagles While there are no officially designated different types of eagles, these birds' names often help sort them into different unofficial classifications. continue reading below our video 7 Hobbies That Can Make You Money These casual notations are based on the birds' preferred prey or similarities to other raptors, such as...

Fish-Eagles - These raptors are exceptional fishermen and are most frequently found in coastal areas where fish are abundant. Their diets are often primarily piscivorous , though they do hunt other prey and can still be found in some inland ranges. Hawk-Eagles and Buzzard-Eagles - These eagles show a great number of similarities to hawks and small, immature hawk-eagles or buzzard-eagles may even be confused for hawks. Their markings and coloration can be similar to hawks, and their bills are often smaller than other, larger eagles. Snake-Eagles and Serpent-Eagles - These eagles are clever hunters of reptiles, especially snakes of different sizes, and they may even be ophiophagous . Venomous snakes are no problem for these raptors to hunt, and they are often found in habitats such as deserts or tropical regions where snakes are more abundant. It is important to note that these unofficial classifications are not exclusive.

Many eagles that are not called "fish-eagles" still hunt fish, many eagles not called "hawk-eagles" can still look similar to hawks and many eagles not called "snake-eagles" will prey on any snakes they can catch. Because these birds have wide ranges, it is also common for a single eagle species to have several different common names, each of which may highlight a different characteristic or trait. Because common names can be so widely varied and confusing, learning and using birds' scientific names to note individual species is always a good idea for official lists and records.

List of Eagle Species By Nick Askew, 24 Jun 2009 Steller's Eagle © Markus Varesvuo/AGAMI The Mediterranean Basin: together for nature Eagles are large birds of prey which are members of the bird family Accipitridae and belong to several genera which are not necessarily closely related to each other. Most of the more than 60 species occur in Eurasia and Africa. Outside this area, just two species can be found in the United States and Canada, nine more in Central and South America, and three in Australia. Below is listed all the members of the eagle family. Sea Eagles Birds of The World: EAGLES BIRDS of THE WORLD RAPTORS of The World Raptors are carnivorous. They hunt by sight during the day, are long lived, and have low reproductive rates. The catch their prey via strong claws ï¿½ three pointing forward and one pointing backward. The raptors that hunt by day are: hawks, eagle, kites, vultures, falcons. Owls hunt by night.

Raptors are also called birds of prey. Also Accipitriformes: ospreys ( family Pandionidae); secretary bird (family Sagittariidae) Order Falconiformes, family Falconidae: falcons Order Strigiformes, family Strigidae: owls Order Accipitriformes Family Accipitridae This page contains birds that have "eagle" as part of their name. The term eagle is not a precise scientific name; what one person considers to be an eagle another may consider to be a hawk. In fact, the "solitary eagles" are placed by most people in genus Buteogallus. That genus also contains species termed "hawks". This has lead to the Buteogallus genus being split over two webpage; this one for eagles and another for hawks . Genus Aquila There is disagreement over what species should be included in the genus Aquila. If the location of a specific species is questionable, then an alternate genus is listed also. Some include all members of genus Hieraaetus in Aquila.

elgini 66. Madagascar Serpent Eagle, Eutriorchis astur Eagle is a common name for some members of the bird family Accipitridae; it belongs to several genera that are not necessarily closely related to each other. Most of the sixty species of eagles are from Eurasia and Africa. Outside this area, just eleven species can be found -- two specie in the United States and Canada, nine species in Central America and South America, and three species in Australia.

Top 10 Most Dangerous Birds in the World. The most dangerous bird on earth. . Category Eagles of the World - baldeagleinfo.com Eagles of the World Videos Eagles of the World Scientists loosely divide eagles into four groups based on their physical characteristics and behavior fish eagles, snake or serpent eagles, booted or true eagles, and harpy or buteonine eagles.

Sea or Fish Eagles Eleven species of eagles live on the forested shores of lakes, rivers, and oceans from the Arctic Circle to the tropics, excluding South America. Their diet is heavily weighted, as one would guess from their name, in favor of fish, which may be taken alive or as carrion. However one bird sometimes placed in this group, the vulturine fish eagle, is a near-vegetarian, dining almost exclusively on the fruit of the oil palm. (This bird is also called the palm-nut vulture; it appears to be somewhere between fish eagles and vultures in both anatomy and diet.) Other members of this group include the bald eagle, the African fish eagle, and the white-tailed sea eagle. For some fish and sea eagles, the future is uncertain. The striking Steller's sea eagle, which can weigh nearly 20 pounds (9 kg), is believed to have a world population of only about 4,200 breeding pairs. Sanford's sea eagle (Haliaeetus sanfordi) and Pallas's sea eagle are also considered to be at risk due to degradation and destruction of their habitat.

The total population of the Madagascar fish eagle (Haliaeetus vociferoides), believed to be one of the world's rarest birds, is estimated at around forty pairs, which are threatened by both habitat destruction and direct persecution. Snake or Serpent Eagles Generally smaller than other eagles, the snake and serpent eagles hunt the savannas and forests of tropical Europe, Asia, Australia, and Africa. The most conspicuous member of this group is the flamboyantly marked bateleur. Its scarlet face and legs stand out boldly against its black, white, and chestnut plumage, and, along with its very short tail, make an adult bateleur unmistakable. The bateleur's name, given by the eighteenth century French naturalist LeVaillant, loosely translates as "tumbler" or "tightrope-walker" and undoubtedly refers to the rocking motion of its flight or the aerobatic maneuvers it sometimes performs. This group also includes the Madagascar serpent eagle (Eutriorchis astur), which is one of the most endangered raptors in the world, For many years, it was doubted whether any survived in the wild.

Finally, in 990, a dead specimen was positively identified, and in 994, a live Madagascar serpent eagle was caught. The bird's confirmed presence has added even greater urgency to the ongoing struggle to preserve Madagascar's rain forest habitat upon which so many unique animals depend. Many of the snake and serpent eagles, particularly those of the genus Spilornis, have a very restricted range, which may be limited to one group of islands.This means that any destruction or degradation of their habitat poses a critical threat to their survival. The booted eagles get their name because their legs are feathered right down to their ankles. This group contains the most species and numbers among them some of the most beautifully marked eagles, including the ornate hawk-eagle,the Spanish imperial eagle, and the crowned hawk-eagle. Several eagles in this group sport dashing, long crest feathers. Some booted eagles, including the martial eagle, the wedge-tailed eagle, and Verreaux's eagle, are among the largest eagles in the world; others, such as Wahlberg's eagle and Ayres's hawk-eagle, are some of the smallest.

The crowned hawk-eagle has been described as one of the most powerful eagles on earth and regularly eats mammals up to twice its weight. Two booted eagles, the golden eagle and the wedge-tailed eagle, were persecuted mercilessly in the past for their supposed habits as stock killers. Today, other members of the group are facing even greater threats. Wallace's hawk-eagle, the Philippine hawk-eagle, and the imperial eagle are considered to be highly at risk; the Javan hawk-eagle and the Spanish imperial eagle are in even more extreme peril. Deforestation of its home, combined with pressure from illegal hunting and capture for profit, has left the Javan hawk-eagle facing a bleak future. In contrast, it was reforestation, replacement of its native forest habitat with more commercially valuable trees, that was a major factor in reducing the remaining world population of Spanish imperial eagles to only about ISO pairs. Unlike the new eucalyptus and pine plantations,the original ancient oak forest was rabbit-rich and largely left alone by humans.

The vulnerability of one of the Spanish imperial eagles' last remaining refuges, Donana National Park, was evident in April 1998 when toxic mining sludge spilled into the park's Guadiamar River resulting in massive deaths of fish and invertebrates. Observers worried that the dead animals would be eaten by others in the park, including the eagles, spreading the disaster even farther. The final ecological toll will remain unknown for some time. Donana's fragile offer of sanctuary is also threatened by the power lines surrounding the park. Researchers have determined that electrocution is the main cause of mortality among the park's eagle population and that the victims are mainly juvenile females, whose survival is critical for the recovery of the species. Their larger size means that females are more likely than males to make a fatal connection,touching a live wire while perched on a metal supporting pylon. Burying transmission lines could eliminate this hazard but it is an expensive solution. Another drain on the species is the significant number of Spanish imperial eagle chicks that die each year due to Cainism. Removing chicks to foster nests is helping to reduce these losses.

At home in the tropical forests of South America, Mexico, New Guinea, and the Philippines, this group of six contains some of the world's most magnificent eagles, including the harpy eagle, the New Guinea eagle, and the Philippine eagle. Although other eagles are almost as heavy and some have larger wingspans, the harpy eagle of South America is without doubt the world's most powerful eagle. A female harpy eagle may weigh nearly 20 pounds (9 kg). Her legs may be as big around as a child's wrist; her feet tipped with 1.5-inch-long (3.75-cm-long) talons may span 9 inches (22.5 cm). With those legs and talons, the harpy is able to snatch large arboreal prey, including sloths and howler monkeys, from the branches where they live. It required slow motion footage shot in Guyana to reveal the technique employed by the harpy to take a sloth hanging from a branch. Deftly rolling in flight to pass under the branch, the eagle grabbed the sloth, wrenched it loose, and carried it off with hardly a break in its flight.

A harpy eagle swooping down at 20 miles per hour (32 kph) generates approximately 13,500 foot-pounds (18,300 Newton-meters) of energy-- that's more than twice the muzzle energy of a bullet shot from a heavy rifle. Recent research has indicated that even the harpy eagle cannot carry the biggest animals it kills back to its nest. Adult harpy eagles probably feed on a carcass for a day or two before they eventually carry the more manageable maggoty remains to their chicks. On the other side of the world, soaring above the beech forests of lower mountain slopes, the New Guinea eagle searches for prey that may include wallabies, pig lets, and tree kangaroos. New Guinea highlanders still hunt this eagle for its wing and tail feathers, which they use in head dresses. Sadly, this practice along with the continuing destruction of its habitat means that the age-old sight of a hunting New Guinea eagle may be denied to future generations. The stunning Philippine eagle, until recently known as the monkey-eating eagle, apparently eats more flying lemurs than monkeys. (These lemurs are 2-foot!

60-cm-long nocturnal mammals, not Madagascar primates.) There probably never were a great number of Philippine eagles; One estimate puts the maximum historical population at around six thousand individuals. As the Philippine Islands became more populated and the forests were stripped from the land, the eagle lost its home and hunting territory, and became vulnerable to shooting and trapping. Although valiant efforts to save the species continue, for the Philippine eagle, time is running out: Fewer than two hundred Philippine eagles remain, and the old-growth forest they need to survive continues to be destroyed. Two of the best-known species of eagles, and two that show both the depredation wrought by humans on eagle populations and the extent to which repopulation efforts can succeed, are the golden and bald eagles.
