see if this works: http://i1131.photobucket.com/albums/...ruen/eagle.jpg
this bird picked a waffle out of the hands of very nice and helpful lady. thought someone here might know.
i think it is in japan.
Looks like some sort of harrier to me, but I dunno.
Mike
she called it an eagle so i imagine it might be somewhat big.
Mike, we'll see what others say. you might be right. no telling over there.
Its a Kite. Not sure if its a Black Kite or not, I'd have to check the distribution. Pretty sure that it is though. (Just Googled Black Kite range, it fits)
bird is near the Kamogawo river in the middle of Kyoto. a random lady has been seen feeding these raptors bread.
Thanks Pete. i'll pass it on to her.
yup. it does fit. scavenger, in japan, white bar on under wings, dark feathers with some light barring. kind of a dirty looking bird. the feral pigeon of the raptor world.
I was going to say black kite too but Pete beat me to it. Years ago I actually flew one, he was 30 years old!
I agree it's a kite could be black kite or yellow billed kite
Paul,
Thank you. i didn't post she said it has a black beak and fluffy feet.
