    Like this shot, I like frame filling shots of birds but have recently started to change to shots with a little more context to them like this. Posted 10 years ago

      I agree. I have a natural tendency to zoom in and crop as much as I can, but often showing a bit of habitat is better. Posted 10 years ago

The Changable hawk eagle

The changeable hawk-eagle or crested hawk-eagle is a bird of prey species of the family Accipitridae. It was formerly placed in the genus "Spizaetus", but studies pointed to the group being paraphyletic resulting in the Old World members being placed in "Nisaetus" and separated from the New World species.
