What eagles are there in northern China?

There are many kinds of eagles, some are called eagles, some are called kites, some are called birds, some are called owls, some are called eagles, some are called falcons and so on. Anyway, they are big birds that eat small animals. The eagle on this grassland is bigger than the kite, but smaller than the eagle. They fly very fast, and their eyes can see every move of a chicken more than ten kilometers away. They are so cunning and ferocious that it is difficult for hunters to shoot them down with guns. But some hunters use another kind of bird as bait, catch it alive with a net, and train it to be a rabbit catcher who works hard for mankind by cooking an eagle. There are many kinds of eagles, including 190 all over the world, and more than 20 common ones in Taiwan Province province. They are distributed in the middle and low altitude mountains, swamps, coasts and estuaries of Taiwan Province Island. They feed on animals and belong to raptors. Among the common eagles in Pingtung Plain, there is an eagle called White-tailed Eagle, which has a light brown head and neck, a brown back and abdomen, and is characterized by white-tailed feathers. It is a rare migratory bird in Taiwan Province Province. There is also an eagle called the gray-faced vulture, which has a reddish-brown back, a white belly with spots, and a milky throat and cheeks. Every autumn, gray-faced vultures will travel long distances from the northeast of the motherland or Siberia, Russia, with the cold current, and come to Pingtung in droves, sometimes as many as hundreds or even thousands or even tens of thousands. However, in recent years, foreign businessmen have bought a large number of specimens of this eagle, which has led people to kill gray-faced vultures on a large scale. Pingtung became the "ghost gate" of gray-faced vultures. Every year, more than 20,000 gray-faced vultures can't escape the bad luck of killing. In this regard, many enthusiasts point out that if this overfishing continues, this eagle will be on the verge of extinction.

There are three most common species in China: goshawk, sparrow hawk and red-bellied hawk.

The goshawk is usually called the Chicken Eagle or Ying Huang. The male is about half a meter long, and the male is smaller than the female. It is gray-black from head to front, black after eyes, and has obvious white eyebrow spots. The lower body is white with a large number of gray-black small horizontal spots. The upper body and wing surface of the female bird are grayish brown, with white eyebrows and brown stripes, and the lower body is white with longitudinal spots under the body. When a goshawk flies, its wings are short and wide, its apex is round and its tail is long. Generally, flapping and gliding alternate and fly in a straight line. The wing stays level when flying. Flapping its wings is faster than other big eagles. They live in the mountains and are good at preying on small mammals, such as rabbits and mice, and occasionally birds. Distributed in Northeast China and even Yunnan, Guangdong and Wenzhou. Breeding in Siberia and Xiaoxing 'an Mountains in China. This kind of bird likes to eat mice and so on, which is beneficial to agriculture. Young birds are often domesticated as falcons to catch rabbits and birds.

Accipiter nisus, commonly known as kite, is slightly smaller than goshawk. Adult birds have bluish gray upper body, long tail feathers and obvious dark brown transverse spots, which are easy to identify. Flying mainly depends on flapping wings and short-distance gliding alternately, often hovering in the air. Often living in the mountains, or by rivers and streams near villages, he has strong flying ability and is good at preying on animals such as birds. It breeds in northern North China, northwest Northeast China, boketu of Hulunbeier League, Daxing 'anling and Xiaoxing 'anling in northern China, and often appears in the east of Sichuan and Yunnan in winter. This bird can also be domesticated as a falcon to catch birds.

The red-bellied eagle (Accipiter soloensis) is slightly larger than the sparrow hawk, with a blue-black upper body, several thin horizontal bands on its tail feathers, no eyebrow spots, and a light gray lower body. Flying posture is the same as sparrows and eagles. They often live in forests and feed on frogs, lizards, birds and large insects. Breeding in Hunan, Hubei, Anhui, Zhejiang, Guangdong and other places in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
