Film about the Philippine Eagle

I have been sent a link to a very worthwhile film about the Philippine Eagle (earlier known as monkey-eating eagle), a story that is also told. The film is released by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. It goes for 1 hour 34 minutes. This is dramatic looking but a little known species and . . . → Read More: Film about the Philippine Eagle
