Details about the subject
=========================

Eagles are large birds of prey which mainly inhabit Eurasia and Africa. Outside these two areas, just two species (the Bald and Golden Eagles) can be found in North America - (north of Mexico), a few species in Central and South America, and three others in Australia.

They are members of the bird order Falconiformes (or Accipitriformes, according to alternative classification schemes), family Accipitridae, and belong to several genera which are not necessarily closely related to each other genetically.

Eagles are differentiated from other birds of prey mainly by their larger size, more powerful build, and heavier head and bill. Even the smallest eagles, like the Booted Eagle (which is comparable in size to a Common Buzzard or Red-tailed Hawk), have relatively longer and more evenly broad wings, and more direct, faster flight. Most eagles are larger than any other raptors apart from the vultures.

Like all birds of prey, eagles have very large powerful hooked beaks for tearing flesh from their prey, strong legs, and powerful talons. They also have extremely keen eyesight to enable them to spot potential prey from a very long distance.[1] This keen eyesight is primarily contributed by their extremely large pupils which cause minimal diffraction (scattering) of the incoming light.

Eagles build their nests, called eyries, in tall trees or on high cliffs. Many species lay two eggs, but the older, larger chick frequently kills its younger sibling once it has hatched.

Eagles are sometimes used in falconry. They appear prominently in myth and literature. In the Old World, such references are commonly to the Golden Eagle (or possibly closely related species found in warmer climates).

Hi Narayanan,
Wonderful capture of this proud eagle.POV,exposure,catchlight in eyes and composition are excellent.
Thanks for posting.

I am afraid this bird may not be an Eagle, Ganesan. It could be a kite or any such bird of the Falcon family. If I am not mistaken, Eagles are found at higher altitudes. Please do not mind my illiterate reaction.
The image otherwise is excellent in terms of focus,colours and composition.
Thanks for sharing it and best regards.

Hi Ganesh,

Great title! When all the birds take off at one time here we know a hawk is flying overhead. I love the perch! Nice details of the face and plummage. Now I'm curious to see if this is an eagle or soomething else.

Hi NG,
gr8 shot.. where did you find this tree? The bird seems to pose well. Great timing, the clear blue sky in the background works well in the composition.

Dear friend,
This bird is not Eagle. It is Black Kite or Pariah Kite; also known as Milvus Migrans Govinda (binomial name). The easy way to identify the brown raptors is their shallow-forked long tail and white patches on wings. While parching, you can see their bare lower parts of legs. But the picture is well clicked.

Hello Narayanan,
Well composed. Effective camouflage eagle..
Good capture..

This is a great composed shot. But is this Eagle? This definitely looks a black kite. Where did you shoot this?
