Wallace's Hawk Eagle Pair (Spizeatus nanus)

Sorry I can't help you with the m v's f, but this is a great shot and wonderful to see such a handsome pair. thanks Joe.

Joe, good to see you back to the forum. You need an expert or someone familiar with Spizeatus eagle to tell you the answer . This is such a little known raptor and you are one of the few lucky people to have 'intimate' encounters with them.

Thanks Tun Pin. I've been "monitoring" this pair (same pair I think) for the previous 2 or 3 years when they built their nest on taller and (less observable) trees nearby. That was before I have my DSLR & tele lenses. In 2004 they nested in a very low tree and I was able to photograph them from the time after the nest was built through to near-fletching of the chick which unfortunately died. Alas, I have been waiting in vain for their return this year!

As in most Raptors females are usually larger than males. This isn't a certain feature, but if one individual is distinctly larger than the other it is likely to be the female. BTW, great photo.
