Ornate Hawk Eagle (Spizaetus ornatus)

The ornate hawk eagle is a long-legged eagle from Mexico/Central America. They lay one egg every other year, and the young will stay with the adults for a period of 2 years. They are fast and strong, but can be difficult to train due to the long immature period they experience.

Video of the ornate is available. Go to the video page to view it.
