Large Brown Eagles - Serengeti (1 Viewer)

Well-known member
These two birds were both spotted in Central Serengeti in March, perched for a few moments in different parts of the same tree.

The first two photos (eagle with bright yellow gape) are the same bird, and the last two photos are a second bird.

My initial guess was that the first bird was a Steppe Eagle and the second was a Tawny (perhaps an immature one), but I'm not sure if it's normal from them to associate so closely together (nor can I easily differentiate Tawny and other brown eagles).

Thanks in advance!
