Three species—the thick-billed parrot, the green parakeet, and the now-extinct Carolina parakeet—have lived as far north as the southern United States. Many parrots, especially monk parakeets , have been introduced to areas with temperate climates, and have established stable populations in parts of the United States (including New York ...
[75] [80] Peregrines occasionally take rabbits, mainly young individuals and juvenile hares. [80] [81] Additionally, remains of red fox kits and adult female American marten were found among prey remains. [81] Insects and reptiles such as small snakes make up a small proportion of the diet, and salmonid fish have been taken by peregrines. [25 ...

It is a rhizomatous fern, with the creeping rhizome 8–15 mm (rarely 30 mm) in diameter, densely covered in the golden-brown scales that give the species its name. The fronds are large and pinnatifid (deeply lobed), from 30 to 130 cm long and 10–50 cm broad, with up to 35 pinnae ; they vary in color from bright green to glaucous green and ...
However, apparently the species can be reliably distinguished by the size of its hallux claw (the enlarged rear talon that accipitrids used as a killing apparatus) which is consistently larger in the golden species. Two female eastern imperial eagles measured 38 and 43 mm (1.5 and 1.7 in) in hallux claw length while a male was about 35.5 mm (1. ...
