True Eagle
Aquila sp.
26.9784, 75.8167
Field Notes
Description:
Raptor, for sure. Huge wing span when it flew.
Habitat:
We were sitting in a restaurant inside a garden called Vidyadhar ka Bagh which is just outside Jaipur. My sister suddenly exclaimed.." Look, a raptor!"
It was sitting on a tree with the hills as a backdrop and extremely far away. It looked like a Black Kite from the distance but when it flew away, we marveled at its wing span and I knew it was not a Black Kite (milvus migrans).
Notes:
My avian expert friend says this is either a Tawny Eagle or a Steppe Eagle.
I checked.
Both are found in the area.
Can someone help please?
It was very, very far away. At the end of my camera's 40 X zoom.
