- I was alone, up a 33m tower overlooking a Harpy Eagle nest in a Brazil Nut tree, when I turned around to find this young Harpy Eagle just 1.5 m away.
Near Cotriguaçu, Mato Grosso, Brazil. 06/09/2019

It looked as if it was simply satisfying its curiosity. Like "How in the heck did this guy get here?"
You are lucky seeing one that close they are beautiful birds
What a wonderful looking bird and the size of those talons.
I was thinking the same thing
The harpy eagle is a mythical creature straight out of stories of Greek mythology 🤗👍🏼. I’d consider it an honour to meet one 😊.
Such a young bird with such BIG FEET and BIG TALONS. He already has his hunting instincts.
That head action is crazy!
Harpy eagles vision is split in both eyes so by rotation of his head he can get different a different view of what it's looking at which makes it look very confused and more like an owl than a eagle
Three words. I envy you. Very lucky you got such a close encounter, with such a beautiful and magnificent bird.
Feel blessed. Not many people get to see that.
Wow, amazing encounter.
Mexican standoff. You gotta love it!!
Oh my jeezuz, the size of those feet....and the Ginsu knives at the end of those feet 😲
"He should go back to its tree...Im not nervous... I dont want it to get the wrong idea" *Whilst holding his shotgun*
AYOO BABA, YOU ARE IN HIS NEST!!!!😂😂😂😂
Oh my God what a beauty so funny I love it thanks for sharing
Fantastic
I was watching a documentary on the harpy eagle not too long ago that had some interesting facts through observation and testing. They were show to have a level of intelligence on par with some primates (specifically howler monkeys) and could plan attacks rather than just indiscriminate grabbing at prey and hoping for the best, plus those talons are reported to exert a force of around 500psi (comparison - human adult bite is around 160, pitbull around 380 and a mastiff around 535 psi). They could crush your forearm.
Good idea to wear a kevlar / stab proof vest when working near to them
She has some big feet and her talents are very long
Very cool
thats awesome..!! did you video it ?
Yes I did
look at those dark dimon eyes ang huge claw oh my God it was a fuckin scary 😳😳😳
You're brave!
Or how about: "I'm hungry... You buying?"
Isn't this the official bird of Panama?
It is
it s sizing you up and tries to decide whether to make a jump at the food or not.
I'm Papi , Papi the happy Papi Harpy
calm down buddy its a bird🤣
With talons as large as a bears claws lol. They can get taller than 3 feet as well, and are the most powerful raptor. It could do fatal damage if it wanted to.
@@Camazotz-kz9wr yh if it grabs his neck or tummy,ouch.
Yeah, only the most powerful bird on earth...
@@setokaiba. well it is the deadliest bird of prey alive today, but the extinct haast's eagles are larger and they hunted moas (moas are A LOT LARGER than an adult ostrich so it's not a joke to prey on these moa birds)
