Ever wonder how a forest eagle hunts? Well this is what Hawk-eagles, like the Black-and-chestnut Eagle, do! Stoop into the canopy to hunt for medium sized mammals and/or larger birds like guans! #WomeninRaptorResearch #RaptorResearch

The story of today!!! What happens when you do research in the Andean Cloud Forest! #WomeninRaptorResearch #RaptorResearch

To expand a lil bit about my job in research it involves climbing trees to access big eagle nests to install trail cams to study behaviors, diets, chick development, you name it! Here are a couple of pics from a Harpy Eagle and a Black-and-chestnut Eagle nests in Colombia! Both nests had fallen and were rebuilt for the new reproductive season, also notice the amount of organic material in the Harpy’s nest! #Raptorresearch #WomeninRaptorResearch #HarpyEagle #BlackandchestnutEagle #Spizaetus
