" It inliabits the banks of the Burhampooter and other rivers in 
Assam, vt^here it conceals itself in bushes and grass, along the verge 
of the vrater, seizing such fishes as approach the surface within its 
reach."— (McCleUand, Proc. Z. S. (1839), p. 154.) 
Mr. Jerdon obtained a specimen of what he considered a young 
male Baz (Astur palumbarius) , but which is identical with this species, 
" seated on a bough, in one of the thick woods of the Neilgherries 
close to Ootacamund. He several times afterwards observed a pair of 
apparently the same birds hunting together near Coonoor, where 
they had committed several depredations on some pigeons, and he 
one day saw them make an unsuccessful swoop at a flock of pigeons 
close to the house. Their flight was swift, similar to that of the 
sparrow-hawks, but at a considerable height, whence they made a 
sudden pounce." — (Madr. Journ. L. S. X. p. 85.)
