Birds Of Prey
Eagles -8
Papuan eagle
The Papuan eagle (Harpyopsis
novaeguineae) also known as
the Papuan harpy eagle, New Guinea
eagle, or Kapul eagle, is a large (length
75–90 cm, wingspan 157 cm, weight
1600–2400 g)[2] greyish
brown raptor with a short full crest,
broad three-banded wings, powerful
beak, large iris, long rounded tail and
white underparts. It has long and
powerful unfeathered legs with sharp
claws. The sexes are similar, and the
female is slightly larger than the male. It
is the only member of the
genus Harpyopsis.
The Papuan eagle is endemic to undisturbed tropical
rainforests of New Guinea, where it became the top
predator of the island. The diet consists mainly
of phalangers or Kapul in a local language, hence its
alternative name. It also feeds on other mammals, birds
and snakes.
One of a group of four large eagles, the others being
the crested and harpy eagle of South America and
the Philippine eagle of the Philippines (although the latter
may be more closely related to species of snake eagle
around the world), the New Guinea harpy eagle is
essentially a mountain bird that nests in high forest trees,
but may be found down to sea level in the few places
where forests remain undisturbed.
Due to ongoing habitat loss, small population size, and
hunting for its feathers which are used on ceremonial
occasions, the Papuan eagle is evaluated
as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List of Threatened
Species.[1] It is listed on Appendix II of CITES
Pygmy eagle
The pygmy eagle or New Guinea
hawk-eagle (Hieraaetus weiskei) is
a bird of prey in
the Accipitridae family. It is found
in New Guinea. Its
natural habitats are subtropical or
tropical moist lowland forests and
subtropical or tropical
moist montane forests. It is often
considered a subspecies of the little
eagle, but some taxonomists
separate it into a distinct species.
African fish eagle
The African fish eagle (Haliaeetus
vocifer),[2] or to distinguish it from the
true fish eagles (Ichthyophaga), the African
sea eagle, is a large species of eagle found
throughout sub-Saharan Africa wherever
large bodies of open water with an abundant
food supply occur. It is the national
bird of Zimbabwe, Zambia, and South Sudan.
As a result of its large range, it is known in
many languages.[3] Examples of names
include: visarend in Afrikaans, nkwazi in Che
wa, aigle
pêcheur in French,[4] hungwe in Shona,
and inkwazi in isiZulu. This species may
resemble the bald eagle in appearance;
though related, each species occurs on
different continents, with the bald eagle
being resident in North America.
African fish eagle
The African fish eagle is a species placed in the
genus Haliaeetus (sea eagles). Its closest relative
appears to be the critically endangeredMadagascar fish
eagle (H. vociferoides). Like all sea eagle species pairs,
this one consists of a white-headed species (the African
fish eagle) and a tan-headed one. These are an ancient
lineage of sea eagles, and as such, have dark talons,
beaks, and eyes[5] Both species have at least partially
white tails even as juveniles. The scientific name is
derived from Haliaeetus, New Latin for "sea eagle" (from
the Ancient Greekhaliaetos), and vocifer is derived from its
original genus name, so named by the French
naturalist François Levaillant, who called it 'the vociferous
one'.
The African fish eagle is a large bird, and the female, at
3.2–3.6 kg (7.1–7.9 lb) is larger than the male, at 2.0–
2.5 kg (4.4–5.5 lb). This is typical sexual dimorphism in
birds of prey. Males usually have wingspans around 2 m
(6.6 ft), while females have wingspans of 2.4 m (7.9 ft).
The body length is 63–75 cm (25–29.5 in). The adult is
very distinctive in appearance with a mostly brown body
with a white head like the bald eagle and large, powerful,
black wings. The head, breast, and tail of African fish
eagles are snow white, with the exception of the
featherless face, which is yellow. The eyes are dark brown
in colour. The hook-shaped beak, ideal for a carnivorous
lifestyle, is yellow with a black tip. The plumage of the
juvenile is brown in colour, and the eyes are paler
compared to the adult. The feet have rough soles and are
equipped with powerful talons to enable the eagle to grasp
slippery aquatic prey. While this species mainly subsists
on fish, it is opportunistic and may take a wider variety of
prey such as waterbirds. Its distinctive cry is, for many,
evocative of the spirit or essence of Africa.[7][8][9] The call,
shriller when uttered by males, is a weee-ah, hyo-hyo or
a heee-ah, heeah-heeah.
Note the yellow colouration of face and lack of
facial feathers

Birds of prey eagles 8

  • 2. Papuan eagle The Papuan eagle (Harpyopsis novaeguineae) also known as the Papuan harpy eagle, New Guinea eagle, or Kapul eagle, is a large (length 75–90 cm, wingspan 157 cm, weight 1600–2400 g)[2] greyish brown raptor with a short full crest, broad three-banded wings, powerful beak, large iris, long rounded tail and white underparts. It has long and powerful unfeathered legs with sharp claws. The sexes are similar, and the female is slightly larger than the male. It is the only member of the genus Harpyopsis.
  • 3. The Papuan eagle is endemic to undisturbed tropical rainforests of New Guinea, where it became the top predator of the island. The diet consists mainly of phalangers or Kapul in a local language, hence its alternative name. It also feeds on other mammals, birds and snakes. One of a group of four large eagles, the others being the crested and harpy eagle of South America and the Philippine eagle of the Philippines (although the latter may be more closely related to species of snake eagle around the world), the New Guinea harpy eagle is essentially a mountain bird that nests in high forest trees, but may be found down to sea level in the few places where forests remain undisturbed. Due to ongoing habitat loss, small population size, and hunting for its feathers which are used on ceremonial occasions, the Papuan eagle is evaluated as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.[1] It is listed on Appendix II of CITES

  • 6. Pygmy eagle The pygmy eagle or New Guinea hawk-eagle (Hieraaetus weiskei) is a bird of prey in the Accipitridae family. It is found in New Guinea. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. It is often considered a subspecies of the little eagle, but some taxonomists separate it into a distinct species.
  • 7. African fish eagle The African fish eagle (Haliaeetus vocifer),[2] or to distinguish it from the true fish eagles (Ichthyophaga), the African sea eagle, is a large species of eagle found throughout sub-Saharan Africa wherever large bodies of open water with an abundant food supply occur. It is the national bird of Zimbabwe, Zambia, and South Sudan. As a result of its large range, it is known in many languages.[3] Examples of names include: visarend in Afrikaans, nkwazi in Che wa, aigle pêcheur in French,[4] hungwe in Shona, and inkwazi in isiZulu. This species may resemble the bald eagle in appearance; though related, each species occurs on different continents, with the bald eagle being resident in North America.

Like all sea eagle species pairs, this one consists of a white-headed species (the African fish eagle) and a tan-headed one. These are an ancient lineage of sea eagles, and as such, have dark talons, beaks, and eyes[5] Both species have at least partially white tails even as juveniles. The scientific name is derived from Haliaeetus, New Latin for "sea eagle" (from the Ancient Greekhaliaetos), and vocifer is derived from its original genus name, so named by the French naturalist François Levaillant, who called it 'the vociferous one'.
  • 10. The African fish eagle is a large bird, and the female, at 3.2–3.6 kg (7.1–7.9 lb) is larger than the male, at 2.0– 2.5 kg (4.4–5.5 lb). This is typical sexual dimorphism in birds of prey. Males usually have wingspans around 2 m (6.6 ft), while females have wingspans of 2.4 m (7.9 ft). The body length is 63–75 cm (25–29.5 in). The adult is very distinctive in appearance with a mostly brown body with a white head like the bald eagle and large, powerful, black wings. The head, breast, and tail of African fish eagles are snow white, with the exception of the featherless face, which is yellow. The eyes are dark brown in colour. The hook-shaped beak, ideal for a carnivorous lifestyle, is yellow with a black tip. The plumage of the juvenile is brown in colour, and the eyes are paler compared to the adult.

Its distinctive cry is, for many, evocative of the spirit or essence of Africa.[7][8][9] The call, shriller when uttered by males, is a weee-ah, hyo-hyo or a heee-ah, heeah-heeah.
