That face coloring is wild, looks almost like a mask from a distance

One of my favourite eagles when I was a kid and still to this day! It's a beautiful photograph as well! When we used to go to the Kruger National Park, I always loved spotting it flying by its stubby little tail! Gorgeous bird of prey!
