Observation details
The immature bird that was born last year. What a lifer! We hoofed it to the nest tree not stopping for any birds. The nest tree was a huge kapok tree looking like something straight out of avatar - towering over the rest of the forest with huge limbs large enough to hold the most powerful eagle in the world. We didn’t see it when we arrived, and Moises and oswaldo went out again to see if they could find the female. We hung out by the nest tree. Wasn’t sure wether the bird flew in while we weren’t looking or whether it had been there the whole time but all of a sudden Nelson was shouting-whispering that he had the eagle! We had amazing views through the scope. Couldn’t see the powerful talons but could see the shaggy double crest the huge bill and the gray breast band. Very pale. Called a few times and at one point flew to a different perch in the nest tree. These immature birds will hang out in the nest tree for two years while they mature.
