Hi, these two photos were taken at Daxue Mountain in Taiwan this morning, very far away, I am sorry for the pool quality but can you pls advise if this is a Mountain Hawk Eagle? I thank you very much in advance.

Gerben

Dear Gerben: Thank you so much for the advice. Sorry for the delayed replay as I stayed in the mountains at Central Taiwan for the past few days. And the good news is that I shot some much better photos of a Mountain Hawk Eagle!!! Very Happy. Again thank you very much.

Good to hear! It is always rewarding to refind a species and then take satisfying shots.

thanks for increasing my eagerness to get to see them : )

cheers,

Best Luck! Now have more reasons to see raptors at Taiwan as I sighted Indian Black Eagle, Besra, Black Ear Kite, and Crested Goshawk

Whoa, nice shots indeed! I am afraid i will visit japan only next year. ishigaki is as close as i will get... Buzzardlike crested snake eagle was easy there.

Maybe some day Taiwan is also an option...

Cheers
