Is it an eagle or a hawk-eagle? I wonder.
 Before the day ends
I went to Licuala Hill with the hope that I could get another glimpse
of the Borneon Falconet.  Upon arrival at the tall dead tree I was
greeted by the Myna birds.  The weather was not so clear as it is
often these days of the North-east monsoon when there are more cloudy
skies and torrential rains.  After a while, I heard a strange sound
not heard before.  When I turned my eyes to the tall tree I noticed a
big bird was resting where the Tiong birds were.  The Tiong birds
flew away when this big bird perched on the tree.  I quickly focussed
my lens hoping to get a picture of the bird.  Got it.  But I could
not confirm what it was.  Upon checking the guide books I am caught
between a Lesser Fish Eagle and a Changeable Hawk -eagle.  Perhaps
one day I'll get a better picture and am more certain on the identity
of the bird.  Today' I'll just leave it at that, happy that I saw
something new.

I would bet that it is a changeable hawk eagle. They are common and plentiful.
