The Philippine Eagle (Pithecophaga jefferyi)
An agitated Philippine eagle raises its head feathers in Mount Apo National Park in the Philippines in an undated picture. The world’s second largest eagle is one of several species native to the Philippines forest hot spot (see map). The hot spot is one of the most endangered areas due to extensive logging and farming by some 80 million people dependent on natural resources, according to Conservation International.

The Red-crested Cardinal (who you might recognize from the move Rio), can be found in Argentina, Bolivia, Southern Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay. Despite the name, they are not related to the Cardinals in your backyard!
