Spotted
The Philippine Eagle, also known as the Monkey-eating Eagle, is one of the largest and most powerful eagles in the world, endemic to the rainforests of the Philippines. It is critically endangered and a national symbol.
Where to spot
Primary and mature secondary lowland rainforests on the islands of Luzon, Samar, Leyte, and Mindanao in the Philippines. Populations are extremely small and fragmented.
How to spot
Look for its immense size, shaggy crest, dark brown upperparts, and pale underparts. Its flight is powerful. Observing it requires significant effort, often guided by local conservationists. Listen for its loud, piercing calls.
When to spot
Year-round, but extremely rare to observe due to its low population density and elusive nature within dense forests.
