18 Different Types of Eagles Present In the World With Pictures

Blyth's Hawk-Eagle (Nisaetus alboniger): Blyth's hawk-eagle is a medium-sized eagle (19.69 to 23.62 in, and roughly 1.83 lbs.) with dark gray to black head, back, and wings. They have a white underpart and neck, with black spots and bars. They have broad, rounded wings (between 3.28 and 3.77 ft), which they use to circle and swoop down on prey, including birds, bats, lizards, and other small mammals. These eagles occur in Borneo, the Malay Peninsula, Singapore, and Sumatra, where they inhabit open woodlands and forests (montane, wet, dry, etc.). Although these least concern eagles have hawk in their names, they belong to an eagle genus. They are called hawk eagles because they share certain adaptations with true hawks.
