the Booted Eagle: Booted Eagle (Hieraaetus pennatus) is a small, migratory eagle seen in India mainly during winter. It appears in two color forms—pale and dark—but both show characteristic feathered legs (“boots”). The pale morph has creamy underparts with dark flight feathers, while the dark morph looks uniformly brown. This agile raptor soars gracefully over open forests, grasslands, and hilly landscapes, hunting small birds, rodents, reptiles, and insects. Although it does not breed in India
