Hodgsons hawk eagle

[LeeSlikkers]

I ran across this sweet looking Eagle this morning on this site...scroll all the way down the page until you come to the Hodgsons hawk eagle, sometimes known as a Mountain hawk eagle.

Seems a nice alternative to a Redtail that is gamey on ducks and other bird game. Less hassle than a Gos or so they claim...neat looking bird either way.

Wow, I found that picture on another site and I thought it was an Ornate hawk eagle.

I think the Ornate has more rusty-orange on it and some black barring on the wings...not 100% sure though as I'm certainly not an exotics or eagle expert ;D

Yea the Ornates do have more orange-rust in them. Also they do have more horizontal black stripes. Other thing you can see is that the crown of the pictured eagle has some white on the tip, where as an Ornate Hawk eagle's crown is solid black.
