Description : The Jerdon’s Baza is a brown raptor with a long white-tipped crest (adult bird length approximately 48 cm, wing 30.5 cm, bill 2.9 cm, tarsus 3.6 cm, tail 20.5 cm). It looks brown from above and barred rufous from below. It has a pale brownish head streaked with dark. The imperial eagle is often observed in pairs, engaging in aerial sallies with their crests held erect. Occasionally, small family groups of 3 to 5 individuals may be seen in flight near the forest's edge. These birds perform soaring and undulating display flights near their nests. While the breeding season varies locally, they are known to breed throughout the year, except for a few months around April and May.
