lesser fish eagle
The lesser fish eagle (''Ichthyophaga humilis'') is a species of ''Ichthyophaga'' found in the Indian subcontinent, primarily in the foothills of the Himalayas, and south-east Asia. There have been some stray reports from Gujarat and Central India and in more recent times from the Kaveri river valley in southern India. The distribution in southern India is not yet confirmed.
Lesser fish eagles are fish-eating birds that have feet adapted to aid in gripping slippery fish. They have strongly curved talons,〔 and spicules along the underside of the birds' toes help to grip fish as they pull them from the water.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.planetofbirds.com/accipitriformes-accipitridae-lesser-fish-eagle-icthyophaga-humilis )〕
There are two subspecies: ''Ichthyophaga humilis humilis'', which is native to the Malaysian Peninsula, Sumatra, Borneo, and Sulawesi;〔 and ''Ichthyophaga humilis plumbea'', which is native to Kashmir through southeast India, Nepal, and Burma towards Indochina.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.globalraptors.org/grin/SpeciesResults.asp?specID=8288 )〕
== Description ==
The lesser fish eagle is a medium sized bird of prey that is primarily gray-brown in colour with broad, blunt wings and coarse featherless legs.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.birdlife.org/datazone/speciesfactsheet.php?id=3367 )〕 They are smaller than the similar ''Ichthyophaga ichthyaetus'' (gray-headed fish eagle)〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.eagledirectory.org/species/lesser_fish_eagle.html )〕 and may often get confused with the similar species. The lesser fish eagle has a brown breast with white thighs and belly.〔 They have a short, rounded tail with a long neck and a small head.〔 Juvenile lesser fish eagles are similar in appearance to adults, although they have brown eyes whereas an adult has yellow. Adults have a wingspan reaching 1.2 m and can grow to up to 64 centimeters tall.〔
