Birds of the Philippines

Photos and videos of wild birds found in the Philippines. We travel all over the Philippines to document and take pictures of birds. Our goal is to make this site a resource of information and images about wild birds of the Philippines.

Crested Serpent Eagle

CRESTED SERPENT EAGLE
Spilornis cheela
Family Accipitridae

L 510 mm (20")
resident

Bird # 367 - September 2012

The Crested Serpent Eagle is found only in Palawan. All other serpent-eagles in the Philippines found outside of Palawan are Philippine Serpent Eagle Spilornis holospilus. Previously, the two species were lumped together and the Guide to the Birds of the Philippines lists only one species for the entire Philippines, the Crested Serpent Eagle. This caused us some confusion in our early birding days when we still weren't aware of splits and lumps.
