Description
Bateleur Eagle
Terathopius ecaudatus
The Bateleur eagle is the most famous of the snake eagles. Bateleur is French for "tightrope-walker". This name was probably chosen because of its distinctive aerial acrobatics. When mature, it's pitch black feathers with white under the wings, bright red face and legs and black tipped beak are characteristic markings. Unlike most creatures, female Bateleur eagles are larger than males.

Truly awesome shot.
yes, or "juggler". they may be related to the extinct eagles of Aotearoa, which allegedly preyed on young humans. some of the giant eagles, e.g. the harpy, prey on primates.
Stunning capture! [=
