Black-and-white hawk eagle

[Isidro]

One of my favourite raptors, this little eagle have a striking coat in pure white and black. I've finished it today.






Of course the obligated comparison figure is the best known species of South American eagle: the harpy eagle. From Colorata, Raptors of the World set.
Angry harpy: get out inmediately of my territory or I will kill and eat you!
Hawk eagle: Uh... sorry... Mom?
Surprised harpy: Uhm,... no... I'm not your mom, but you softened my heart with your innocence. It just jappened that a damn boa killed my only chick and I need to care for a young. You will be like my lost son from now. Come to my nest!


Comparison shot with random raptors: Science & Nature wedge-tailed eagle, Colorata bald eagle, Safari LTD California condor.


And all my South American team complete (well not complete, I forgot the blue morpho butterfly). Now my Amazonian family (plus few Andean/Patagonian water birds) grew a lot and it's already difficult to get all in a single shot!
