U.S. species on the list. Snail Kite Red-winged blackbird Great Blue Heron
American Robin Wood Stork Using the information provided in the websites,
answer the following points. Assuming that generalist/opportunistic species are
widespread and more or less uniformly distributed and usually occupy a variety
of ecological niches, decide which of these species are generalists and which
are specialists with narrow niche preferences or environmental tolerance
ranges. Pay special attention to the species climate range, presence in densely
populated areas, and evenness of their distribution throughout their range. You
may want to look at the precipitation, biome, and climate maps across their
range. Also, their diet and feeding behavior helps because a specialist eats
only one or two things while a generalist may eat several different prey items.

listed above is a generalist or a specialist. There are right and wrong
