Crested serpent eagle

This bird is seen mainly in forest areas specially in the northeast. The main attraction of this bird is yellow eyes, black crown tipped with white, a large yellow patch at the base of the bill, grey cheeks, dark brown upper parts, buff brown under parts with white spots and long yellow legs. This bird is a lone warrior I say this because it sits alone for hours until it sights its prey. It sits on high leafy trees. The tail and the underside of the flight feathers are banded with black and white. It has a series of sharp whistling calls during flight. The yellow patch on the eyes is the distinct mark. I was fascinated when saw this bird in kaziranga park at assam it waits for hours. I saw this this for atleast 45 minutes waiting for its prey. It gave me achance to click at thirty pics of this bird.
