The Black Eagle is a large, slender eagle found across tropical Asia, characterized by its glossy black plumage, yellow cere and feet, and distinctive long, 'fingered' wings. It specializes in preying on birds, their eggs, and nestlings.
Where to spot
Evergreen forests, montane forests, and well-wooded hilly areas across parts of the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, and Indonesia.
How to spot
Look for its entirely glossy black plumage, bright yellow legs and cere, and long, broad wings with prominent 'fingers.' Its slow, deliberate flight is also distinctive, often at eye level along contours.
When to spot
Year-round, active during daylight. Often seen soaring over forested hills or quartering along ridgelines, particularly in the morning.

It has a unique foraging style, often flying slowly and purposefully along forest edges and ridgelines, inspecting tree crevices and nests for prey with remarkable stealth.
