But we do have to ask ourselves, exactly how brainy were the saurornithoidids, and other nonavian maniraptors? True that an avian grade telencephalon, appears only in these derived coelurosaurs.
But they were at the low end of modern birds: like palaeognaths and galliforms, rather than anseriforms or neoavians. Not likely to be as smart as the accipitrids.

These are my best shots, so far, of a Grey-headed Fish-Eagle (Haliaeetus ichthyaetus) that can be seen at the Pandan River, Singapore. These were taken on on 22 May 2019.
On some days, a long row of birders (bird watchers) can be seen waiting for it to go fishing so they can get dramatic shots.

While walking along the Pandan river in Singapore today, 29 March 2019, I heard a splash. It turned out to be this Grey-headed Fish-Eagle (Haliaeetus ichthyaetus) catching a fish. It then flew to this perch and proceeded to dry itself while eating the fish.

This Brahminy Kite (Haliastur indus) was circling and looking for food along the Pandan River in Singapore on 5 March 2019. As it was staying in mostly one area, I took the opportunity to try to get some shots of it in flight. Not very good, but I'm happy with these shots that I managed to get.

Shot from across the Pandan River, Singapore, on 13 Feb 2019 was this Grey-headed Fish Eagle (Haliaeetus ichthyaetus). It swooped down and tried to catch a fish before flying up to rest on this branch.
