The Philippine eagle (Pithecophaga jefferyi) is a large bird of prey that inhabits mountainous rainforests on four specific islands within the Philippines: Luzon, Samar, Leyte, and Mindanao.1
Among these locations, the island of Mindanao supports the majority of the birdās remaining population. These eagles typically patrol territories composed of mountainous dipterocarp forests, where they nest in the crowns of tall trees.1
