What is the most underappreciated bird of prey?

The Philippine Eagle.

It’s The Philippines national bird. They are the only blue-eyed bird of prey.

They have a long lifespan. They feed on monkeys and various reptiles.

They are large—nearly the size of harpy eagles. They can cause serious damage if they want to—their beaks and talons are both extremely powerful and razor sharp, capable of quickly dismembering their prey.

They live up to 60 years and are magnificent apex predators. They pair bond and mate for life with their partner.

They are currently endangered due to deforestation. Fingers crossed that conservation efforts are at work to preserve them. They also have very cool hair.
