Contributed photo December 13, 2020 A FAMILY of the critically endangered Philippine Eagles has recently been spotted in the forests of Lupon, Davao Oriental.
Official photographer of the Provincial Information Office, Eden Jhan Licayan, who took the photos and some video footage of the rare sightings, said he spotted a total of three Philippine Eagles during the four-day assessment of potential tourism sites in the area from December 7 to 10.
Licayan said he first spotted a young Philippine Eagle perched on a tree near its nest while emitting a powerful call. The following day, Licayan and his team were surprised to spot two more eagles flying over the forest canopy, which are much bigger than the first one they sighted.
