Field Notes

Description:

A bird of prey...the crest is visible. Very regal looking.

Habitat:

Reserve Forest of Madhya Pradesh, India. Shot from very, very far away and from a jeep.

Notes:

A lifer or me. How I wish I had more zoom on my camera or that we could have approached the bird; but this is tiger territory.
