Challenge of Hawk-eagle

 How could it be possible but it was, as this one stood statue-like for a good period of time, as if to fool one of its living presence.

It's a juvenile Changeable Hawk-eagle (Nisaetus cirrhatus) that seemed to have grown overnight, more heard than seen before this, and whose presence over the months had chased off both resident as well as migrant birds that would  normally forage below.

 Nevertheless it's the offspring of the Bukit's very own raptor, deemed a resident as more than a brood have been raised here over the years.

Earlier, its parent had quietly flew in right above where I was standing.

As I hastily retreated for a better view, it too moved, and from its vantage perch, I was given the stare, naturally!
