Burung pemangsa (Birds of Prey)
Changeable Hawk-Eagle
Nisaetus cirrhatus
- epik
- 65 km/h
- Risiko rendah
A forest eagle of many faces, switching between pale and dark morphs as if the same bird were two species. Its long crest rises like a question mark above the canopy.
- Populasi
- Not precisely quantified globally; ranging from common to uncommon across a very large range (~13-15 million km2), with a suspected declining population trend due to habitat loss
- Habitat
- Forests, savanna woodland, wetlands, agricultural land and plantations (e.g. tea estates), and forest edges/villages, from sea level up to roughly 1,500-2,200 m elevation; shows comparatively low dependency on unbroken forest versus congeneric Nisaetus hawk-eagles
- Fakta menarik
- Unlike several other Nisaetus hawk-eagles that have declined sharply with deforestation, the Changeable Hawk-Eagle has proven remarkably resilient to habitat degradation, persisting even in agricultural land, plantations, and forest-edge villages.
