A dark eagle perches on a rough rock, seen from behind with its head turned to the side and its hooked beak slightly open. Its back and wing feather look layered and scale-like, and its strong talon grip the stone. The soft green grassland behind it looks wide and open.
This bird of prey looks alert, as if scanning the open habitat for movement. Eagles typically hunt small to medium animal and often use high perches to watch for prey before swooping down. Their hooked beak and powerful talon are key tools for catching and tearing food.
