Observation details

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Holy smokes! Lifer. We were trying to seen the parakeets below us down in the valley and had a great view of the whole vista. All of a sudden the parakeets were in the air and Nelson yelled out ‘Black-and-chestnut Eagle!!’ We had decent views as it soared over the valley below us, seeing the huge pale wing panels and the pale tail with broad black sub terminal band and pale tipping. We glimpsed the chestnut belly as it circled higher and started celebrating I even took a crappy pic. It reached about eye level across the valley and then headed straight towards us. We both realized at the same time and and watched just dumbfounded as the eagle came towards us and came right overhead and over the ridge. Close enough to see the pale staring eye and the chestnut belly with black streaking. Holy smokes. Que wow. Imposing and regal. Apparently eats guans, lord.
