Blyth's Hawk-Eagle

 Accipitriformes - Accipitridae - Nisaetus alboniger (Helang-Hindik Melayu)

Medium-sized raptor of montane forests. Adult is dark brownish-black above and has heavily black-streaked white underparts. Flying adult shows broad, rounded wings and a single broad white band on the tail. Lacks the overall buffy brown tones of the much smaller adult Wallace’s Hawk-Eagle. Immature is very similar to Wallace’s but has thinner tail barring; immatures are best distinguished by altitude (Blyth’s favors higher elevations than Wallace’s) and size. Small crest is not visible in flight but may be held erect when perched.

Changeable Hawk-Eagle

 Accipitriformes - Accipitridae - Nisaetus cirrhatus (Helang Hindek/Helang-Hindik Biasa)

Medium-sized eagle with massive rounded wings. Appears very small-headed in flight. Name is slightly misleading, as there are only really two color morphs, pale and black. Pale-morph adult is dark brown above with a white breast overlaid with dark streaks. Juvenile is much paler, with cleaner white underparts and less extensive striping and barring anywhere on the body. Dark morph is dark all over with paler outer wing feathers, and can be mistaken for dark Honey-Buzzards; look out for the hawk-eagle’s much longer wings and more slender profile. Inhabits forests, forest edges, and expansive parks and plantations.

Hawk the thought
Release the breath
Intrusion, invasion
glides on. 

Seeking, longing

Open the heart
Beauty lives
