See the strong legs with barred feathering plumage, and the long tail feathers and outer tail retrices, as it preens itself of mites and parasites on a wet monsoon day, sitting first on an Oak or Banj and later on on a Cheer Pine tree. A Crested Hawk Eagle seen at the wildfilmsindia forests in Mussoorie - see nictitating membrane action. Notes its haunty preky crest atop the head, and the sharp yellow eye.
