Description
Hello all!
I shot this beautiful eagal a few days ago. The light was minimal and I had to use a flash and found it challenging to shoot in the conditons with the little equipment I had but I tried to do my best as this paticular hawk eagal is rare and I had never seen it before. I got as close AS I could to it . I was slightly afraid it would peck out my lense . The first shot of it it is relaxed and at ease and the last on the right it is standing at full attention. I couldn't decide which one to post because both shots show differant sidees of it's personality so I put the two together here today.
Here is a little info in this rare and beautiful bird :
-----------------------------------------------
The Japanese mountain hawk eagle is one of the most voracious raptors in the world. They sit upon a concealed perch high in the forrest to observe the unsuspecting ground quarry, then move down to a lower branch to make a short and fast swoop. Their nests are within the deep confines of forests throughout Asia. Most mountain hawk eagle lay three eggs, and defend the young throughout the development into adults.
He has dark brown feathers on the head and body with a light cinnamon feathers on the breast. Beaks are most often black as are their claws. They have yellow eyes. They are usually between 28 to 31 inches tall,yet sometimes larger.
On rare occasions the nests can be found in villages, with access to chicken yards close by. In fact, these raptors frequently use two nests--one for traditional puroposes, rearing young, and the other as a roost and feeding post.
According to the Red Databook published by Japan's Environmental Agency, the mountain hawk eagle is a species in danger of extinction. According to the Species Protection Act, the greatest effort from government and individual citizens is demanded for the protection of the mountain hawk eagle. The mountain hawk eagle is a species of large raptors which is positioned at the apex of an ecological pyramid. The survival of this bird is a symbol of the abundance of the environment in which it lives. Thus, maintaining an environment in which the mountain hawk eagle can live is a concern for all of us who care about our environment as a whole.

Breathtakingly beautiful. Kimarie you just keep surpassing yourself. Fascinating information as well. Excellent photography.
WOW! What a beautiful bird!!! And your photos are perfect Kimmie, you should be really proud of this. I wouldnt mind having either one of them in my own gallery. Im not sure about the presentation though....i wish you would have presented them both in the same way. In other words, use the same presentation as the right one on both of em. But beautiful photos nevertheless. Have a wonderful day! #:O)

A beautiful bird Kimarie and you did a wonderful job of capturing it's varied moods. Well done!
Stunning image of such a rare creature. What a wonderful capture, especially showing the two sides. Outstanding!!!!
Very interesting. I have never heard of this bird before. Certainly can see the resemblance to both an Eagle and a Hawk. I can imagine that this was hard to shoot. I dont suppose the bird was all that keen on the flash. lol. Actually, I didnt know that there were any other kinds of eagles besides the golden eagle and the bald eagle. THANKS for the education here. This is marvelous and so very interesting to view. HUGSSSSSSSSSS. V
Beautiful Eagle......... Looking back to when I was stationed in Japan, I wished I had paid more attention to wild life instead of other things on the other side of the gate. Excellent shot of the beauty. Aloha
