Crowned Eagle
Where to spot
Dense primary and secondary rainforests and dense woodlands across sub-Saharan Africa.
How to spot
Look for its large size, prominent double crest, dark back, and heavily barred underparts. Its flight is powerful and agile through the forest. Listen for its loud, far-carrying territorial calls, which are often the best way to locate it.
When to spot
Year-round, active during daylight hours. Often heard calling before it is seen, especially around dawn and dusk.
