Bryan Thomas took these photographs when we were out in and around the village of San Felipe Neri on the edge of the marsh of El Hondo on Tuesday last.
The perched pale morph Booted Eagle was taken about 9am and was probably warming up in the early morning sun. This pylon is not far from the farm buildings which is easily passed by and the smell noted! We see an Eagle often here or flying around. It's a beautiful bird.
The pale morph is easily identified but the flying Booted Eagle is one to note. This one is a paler version of the dark morph. The leading half of the under wing is brown with a black line separating it from the paler back half wing. The pale morph has very clean white leading half under wing with black on the remainder with a predominately white chest and belly. Whereas the dark morph has a dark brown body.
