I was lucky to have seen this bird before it was killed.

Stayed well away from the eagles so that I could observe their natural behavior and they won't get stressed, they have very good eye sight and hearing that any movement inside their comfort zone will make them wry and defensive. Taken from around 100m or so.

They are an endangered specie and it might be a good time to try to get some good pictures now that they can be seen.

Yup, that was pretty tragic. Another case of stupidity.
