vogelcommando 7 Dec 2013 Was this bird sitting in the sun because the Harpy Eagles I've seen were much more dark greyish ? Beautifull photo and beautifull animal anyway !

geomorph 7 Dec 2013 This was taken in late afternoon near sunset, so it is in shade. This bird does look very light-colored, perhaps it is a juvenile?

F F FWC 7 Dec 2013 Very interesting, they do indeed have harpies again ! Also you would be right geomorph, this is indeed a juvenile bird, honestly I wouldn't be surprised if it was this years bird going of of how pale its plumage is !

I I IanRRobinson 7 Dec 2013 Agreed, it does look very young. In such a ferocious species it must make sense for the juvenile to look as distinctive as possible.
