Flying high
Black Baza
Murti Forest , North Bengal
A highly distinctive medium-sized raptor found in a wide range of forests. The distinctive crest may be held vertically or at an angle when the bird is perched, but crest tends to be hidden during flight. The black back, head, underwings, and tail contrast strongly with a thick white breast band and rusty-edged white stripes on the belly. In flight, note the upperwings with large white patches, producing a checkerboard appearance. - eBird

Oriental Honey-buzzard
Pernis ptilorhynchus
Binnaguri, West Bengal
Jun 20
A large raptor of lowland and montane broadleaf and mixed forests, this species is well-known for its tendency to congregate in large flocks of up to the thousands during migration. While showing considerable plumage variation throughout its range, the unusually small and slender head combined with a long striped tail and broad wings with prominently striped underparts make this species fairly recognizable anywhere. True to its name, this species is a raider of wasp and bee nests, although it forges more frequently on bee and wasp larvae instead of their honey. - ebird
