A juvenile Bateleur Eagle....very obvious in flight with its short tail (sometimes called the Short Tailed Eagle) the plumage of this Eagle changes dramatically with age.

Douglas---thanks, and I agree about the sky but my powers are limited

Birdie---Thanks so much...one of my favorite raptors...they are mostly scavengers and often among the first to a kill

Rob---I'm not too good at ID'ing raptors in flight but this one is so unique that even I can do it.

Ron---Yes they do clean up nicely in their "old" age

Ken---Thanks Ken...love those colorful eagles
