taken today during the outing of the birding course for beginners at Maipo.



some say it's an imperial eagle.  judging from the size and its form it's very much like an imperial eagle.  but the mottled plumage makes it hard to pin down.  but can i say that the white patch highlighted by the red arrow is the 'diagnostic white braces on the sides of the mantle' described by the book.
