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.
