Booted Eagle, Turahalli, Karnataka
February 11th, 2010

We were walking along the foothills of Turahalli which was went we saw a large raptor soaring up there. It had this whitish plumage with dark feathers which easily helped us in saying that it wasn’t a kite. It is mostly the crows or the kites chasing out the owls in Turahalli. It was soaring above for quite a long time during which it also got chased and nearly attacked by a kite. Once the pale morph specimen disappeared to the other side of the hill, we saw another Darph morph Booted Eagle soaring again.
Location: Turahalli Reserve Forest,Bangalore
