The RED TAILED HAWK is the bird that has a synonymous cry with the bald eagle. It is often associated with the same sounds that a bald eagle makes and is often times misconstrued as the real bald eagle of America. These are birds that are known as the "chickenhawk" because it preys mostly on smaller species of birds like chickens. It is one of the most common bird species found in North America.

****PLEASE HELP****There are green and red bugs living in an area. As a result of an environmental change, birds that live in the same area grow in numbers. These birds eat the bugs, and they prefer the taste of the red bugs. How will the increase in the bird population most likely affect the bug population? Green bugs will survive better and reproduce, so the bug population will evolve into mostly green bugs. Red bugs will survive better and reproduce, but the bug population will evolve into mostly green bugs. Green bugs will survive better and reproduce, but the bug population will evolve into mostly red bugs. Red bugs will survive better and reproduce, so the bug population will evolve into mostly red bugs.

In 1942 scientists came out with DDT, a miracle insecticide, able to kill most bugs on contact. Just before this the U.S. government placed the bald eagle under protection in an attempt to stop the killing of our national bird. By the mid 1960's it was apparent that something was wrong because the eagle population had declined so much it needed to be placed on the Endangered Species List. Scientists and environmentalists began investigating and it was concluded that DDT was one of the main culprits. In 1972, DDT was banned from use because of its effects as a pollutant. The graph shows the how many nests hold a specific number of eggs. Usually eagles average two eggs per nest. What can be concluded from these data? A. The banning of DDT in 1972 caused a decline in the number of eggs laid by eagles. B. Eagles migrating from New York to Canada are heartier than eagles migrating from Arizona to Oregon. C. The bald eagle population increased by 10% this year compared to last year. D. The number of nesting pairs of eagles increased to 50 pairs this year.
