The Red-tailed Hawks were seen at the National Bison Range, Moiese, Montana, US.

A Red-tailed Hawk roosted on tree then flew away.


The National Bison Range tour was one of those wonderful field trips arranged by the 'Raptor Research Foundation conference 2008' from 24-28 September held in Missoula, Montana, US. I really enjoyed the conference and field trips and have learnt a lot! 
Crested Serpent Eagle has brownish below. Small white dots spread through breast sides, belly, and thigh.

The Crested Serpent Eagle soared elegantly into the mountain. A few roosted shots.




The bird looked like a juvenile. Making loud calls and moved actively, then hidden into the trees.
