Pacific Baza (Aviceda subcristata)
Date: 13 July 2008
Location: Honiara east (Honiara, Guadalcanal, Solomon Islands)
Number observed: 1
Notes:
Excellent, close looks at a perched bird. Gorgeous! Brilliant yellow, black-rimmed eye. Barring below, cinnamony undertail; gray hood with very strange finger-like crest at rear.
One (the same?) bird observed in incredible aerobatic maneuvers, possibly catching insects?
