| Identification |
|---|
| Heard an Eagle like call, which made me wonder especially the time when I heard it. Later on was going through possible ids based on what I remembered by comparing with calls from Xeno Canto and instantly recognised the call based on this recording (https://xeno-canto.org/428457) |
| Habitat/behaviour |
|---|
| The bird called around for a minute or 2 and I was around the spot from another minute before walking away. The area is a secondary forest. |
| Viewing conditions |
|---|
| It was post a thunderstorm in the evening and bird was not sighted. |
| Observer's experience w/similar species |
|---|
