This afternoon when I was watering the plants in my garden, my 2 small nieces came running to me. "Auntie, auntie, come, the Philippine eagle is on our coconut tree", said the excited girls. "What? Wait a minute." I put off the water from the faucet and run following the girls behind my house. "Where is it?" "It flew to another coconut tree. There!", said the chorus of the girls with their mother and my cousin. I had to run back to the house again and got my smartphone and tablet. I took many photos although I was not sure if it was good enough to catch the beauty of the Philippines eagle. I have not seen this bird in our town. It was beautiful. I hope it will come back again. Have you seen a Philippine eagle before? Can you see the bird on top of the coconut tree branch in my photo above?

It is very small as I have taken the photo far away from my kitchen door @BellStarr. The bird is on the branch of the coconut tree.

I enlarged the picture but i cannot see the eagle on top of the coconut tree . It must be so nice to see one . I have seen one , in Manila zoo when we toured our daughter who is just 3 then . I bet she can't remember us going there except when she sees our pictures .

@SIMPLYD it´s on the left side of one of the branches of the coconut tree. It´s just a small one to see. At least you have the photos to show to your daughter. I have seen the Philippines Eagle a few years ago when we were in Palawan Crocodile Farm.

@thelme55 I see something on the right side of the tree that could be the head of the eagle or a leaf.

Oh, maybe if you put a circle then it would help us seeing it... Is it white? I think I see a white dot up there that couldn't be the sky - but I couldn't make out if it's an eagle either...
