Immature Harpy Eagle (Harpia harpyja)

This bird was perched just above in a big tree of a primary forest in Amazonian Brazil.

He was looking at us but not disturbed by our presence. It stayed very long, allowing me having some nice pics through my telescope despite a difficult light.

More photos of birds from the same forest:
