The Hodgson's Fishing Eagle builds in trees on 

 the banks of the streams which it frequents, a large 

 nest of sticks, from January to May, and lays two 

 to three eggs, white and unspotted and measuring, 

 according to Blanford, 2-75 by 2-12. 



The claws of this species are very curved and 

 much of a size, the hind claw not being much bigger 

 than the outer claw. 



Rather an ungainly looking bird, either sitting or 

 flying, except for the head, with its bright yellow 

 eye, which is very nice looking, but the body, in 

 repose, has rather the look of a Vulture being 

 somewhat hunch-backed. 



This species may be found as high up as 8,000 ft. 

 but its favourite elevation is between 3,500 and 

 5,000 ft., and it is by no means rare even on the 

 plains.
