A White Eyed Buzzard perched on a govt. notice of trespassing sign
A beautiful medium sized resident raptor of the country found throughout the year in grassland areas and open forests. This is a relatively easy hawk to identify due to its distinctive white-eye. The birds tend to sit on tall perches for long periods and soar on thermals while hunting.
Sighted this in an amazing grassland that is all but gone due to trespassing and development. It was ironic to see the bird on this sign since the land all around this sign was already occupied. The area hosts some unique wildlife like the Indian Fox, Jackal and a wolf along with many raptors and migrant harriers - last year that place was the biggest roosting place for harriers in the state. This year, smooth top roads are laid by some real estate builder. And the harriers have just started coming!
