Elanus caeruleus
Open dry agricultural fields.
Hovers at a spot for few seconds inspecting the field below before moving forward and repeating the same. Perches on high on top of trees or electrical wires.
Thank you ulvalactuca77 and Argybee...
@Argybee, its so true that wires make a very good perching spot for various birds in India, but at the same time i have seen many birds as well as big fruit bats electrocuted by the same. :(
The talons are almost obscene; and the eyes, well there's a gizmo on the Camera for Red-eye :)
outstanding shot,
thank you,
Thank you everyone, I am humbled by your kind gestures. I shall keep sharing more pics in future for the sake of joy of sharing of nature's beautiful creatures. thank you peter for making it the spotting of the day.
What a fabulous bird... those red eyes are incredible. And I love how his feet look too big for his body!! A beautiful photograph, well deserving of spotting of the day!
Great shot, and congrats on spotting of the day! I love these birds. As you see we have the exact same bird here in Australia - http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/678...
A great picture, so clear! And congratulations on making Spotting of the Day! :)
Spotting of the day!
