Crested Serpent Eagle
Crested Serpent Eagle

A juvenile Crested Serpent Eagle found on a forest road. The traditional folk song "Basu nuTuri Bushi (鷲ぬ鳥節)" — sung at auspicious occasions as the opening dance — tells of a juvenile Crested Serpent Eagle taking flight toward the New Year's sunrise. Auspicious indeed. ^^
