The New Guinea Harpy Eagle is a large and powerful forest eagle endemic to New Guinea, known for its distinctive shaggy crest and impressive size. It is a specialized predator of large arboreal mammals, particularly possums.
Where to spot
Primary lowland and hill rainforests across New Guinea. It is extremely elusive and rare.
How to spot
Look for its immense size, dark brown upperparts, pale underparts, and the prominent, shaggy crest. Its loud, resonant calls are often the best clue to its presence, as it is seldom seen perched.
When to spot
Year-round, active during daylight. Extremely difficult to observe due to its elusive nature and dense habitat. Sightings are rare.
