I agree with your post, Byoffer! I couldn't get past that imagery either. Amazing footage that they continue to get at all of these vast locales.

Yes, Spot probably knows more about these Phillipine eagles than I do, but it sure looks comparable to our American Osprey, also known as Sea Hawks. You know, they are the same birds that took a huge hit with DDT poisoning, at the top of the food chain and all, and now they have made a very nice come back. They can be seen all over Coastal North America. I have seen many just this summer.

I think they return to the same nests every year. They are amazing birds and definitely sharp predators. The American Osprey:

Here is what I found regarding the Osprey:

The Osprey is a rather large bird, with a wingspan of around 6.5 ft (2 m) and a height of 24 in (60 cm). It is a powerful raptor and usually lives near large bodies of water. It is also known as a sea-hawk or fish-eagle, and it mainly feeds on fish.

Osprey differ from other birds of prey like eagles and falcons that are active during the day: their second outer toe is reversible. Like an owl, they can grab their prey with two toes at the front, and two at the back. Their toes are also the same length.

Highly Evolved Species

This is one of the few animals that have a single species that can be found all over the world. They are present at different times of the year in four continents. Antarctica is the one place they don't venture to. North American Osprey go to South America during the Northern hemisphere's winter season, and European Osprey fly to Southern Africa for the southern hemisphere's warm season.

I know alot of folks are familiar with this bird:
