- Seeing a harpy eagle, a near mythical raptor, has been on my bucket list for years. So, when I’m invited to Panama by the Canopy Family canopytower.com/canopy-camp, I seize the chance, and get so much more than I hoped for.

ABOUT THIS FILM
____________________
Legendary harpy eagle
The harpy eagle is the national bird of Panama. Named after the harpies of Greek mythology, gruesome women with the bodies of birds, this gigantic eagle is the most powerful raptor on earth and its rear talons can measure 5 inches - bigger than a grizzly bears claws!
My guide, Eliecer takes me to a secret location, confident we’ll get some good sightings. But it’s gonna be quite a journey! From the camp, we travel 40 minutes by car and take a 15 minute canoe trip down the Chucunaque River. Then we set off through the pastures on horseback and walk through dense jungle to a lookout point.
Cupio trees
Eliecer, eventually pointed to a small gap in the tree canopy. And there it was. A huge nest, in the fork of a cuipo tree. Cuipo trees are the largest trees of this region and measure up to 200ft high, towering over the top of the rest of the canopy. Everything in this forest seemed super-sized, so when I spotted a female harpy eagle sitting inside the nest, it felt surreal.
The harpy eagle is so impressive it is revered across Central and South America. As I trained my lens on it, it gave a long whistle that rang out across the forest. Eliecer said the sound meant she was hungry and was calling for the male to bring food.
Glimpsing the chick
A small white head of a chick then appeared over the rim of the nest. The female leaned over it, and for a moment looked fiercely protective. Mesmerised, we watched her and her chick for 6 hours, ignoring the humidity. Throughout, the female repeatedly called for food. Then she took flight, her huge 2-metre wings at full spread as she flew into the forest.
She didn’t go far. As she tussled with something in a nearby tree, I believed she was hunting, but then she returned with a branch. It seems she was just refreshing the nest with some greenery.
Male harpy eagle arrives
Still hungry, she kept searching the nest for food in vain. Males don’t bring food every day, so I was about to give up hope on seeing her mate until we heard him at last returning the her calls. All of a sudden, the male flew into the nest carrying prey. It was hard to see what he brought, but we watched the female take it and feed it to the chick.
We watched the male look around the nest before flying to the branch above. He was there long enough for me to get some amazing footage and then he took flight, melting back into the forest.

Is a 500 mm big enough?
Thanks for everything you provide to us. This life you live; what a total gift.
I shoot on Sony cameras and was using 100-400 and 200-600 lenses!
@@RobertEFuller thanks again Robert! 🙋💕
Don’t think I’d travel that far… you go ahead and enjoy for us!
As a disabled person whose primary mode of transportation is a wheelchair, I want to thank you for taking me with you on your adventures.
I've had a fondness for Harpy eagles since I was a young person, so getting to see this beautiful family of eagles has been the highlight of my day.
Thank-you again from the depths of my heart.
That's exactly what I said! I feel privileged to see this gorgeous film from a place I am not able to travel--but through Robert, Eliecer, and their guides, I am!
Thank you Faith
He really brings us with him!
I am in the same situation as you. From his live streams (that are on 24/7) to his videos, I feel as though I am experiencing everything with him! xxx 😊
I echo all. Housebound and thankful to travel like this…❤
The Harpy Eagle is one of my favorite birds, I love them!! It makes me sad to think about how their population is depleting.
I agree!
I agree, they are like smaller terror birds that can fly it’s amazing! Their claws are massive and are the largest eagle specimen alive ATM
Me too
We need more people like Mr.Fuller.
@@user-ef4vx2ll4m well said!!
That was amazing to see not just a harpy eagle, but a whole family!
Many thanks for the movie .
I'm a raptor addict and discovered the Harpy Eagle a few years ago here on UA-cam. Obviously videos are rare because of the rarity of the species and the remoteness of the habitats. Philippine Eagles (also endangered for same reasons) are similar in these respects and fascinate me also. Not easy trekking through rain forests and all that they entail. Thank you so much for capturing these lovely scenes of one of nature's rarest and most awesome creatures!
Harpy eagles and Philippines eagles are also my favorite! They're so big and unique looking ❤!
@@Galaxia7 truee
What a find, and what magnificent birds! Thank you for sharing!
I'm a long-time subscriber to Robert's channel, the meticulous way he goes about preparing and editing his videos on all things nature-based has brought this daft [English for stupid 😂😂] 70 yo man to tears on occasion. The man is a national treasure.
Fantastic! That harpy female calling for food is absolutely beautiful! 😅
Amen
Robert, you just made a great day even greater! This was a wonderful gift to animal lovers! Congratulations to you, Eliecer, and all the guides for making this rare film! I can tell from your voice how much you revere such creatures. And without our guides, we could never capture such moments.
NOT a raptor you want angry with you!
Glad that you got to see these magnificent birds. You deserve it :)
Heavy sigh. Thank you. You take me to places I will never get to see.
Since my last name is Eagle too, Eagles have always been special to me. And Harpies are just so amazing to watch.
Such a pretty grey colour on their head 😮
Hello from the Philippines 🇵🇭 I'm your new subscriber l have been watching all of your videos since yesterday and suddenly became a fan of yours.
Beautiful, thank you. I had never seen an harpy eagle before!
I must say I really admire the harpy eagles' bold fashion sense and confidence! On any other bird (or human) an extravagant gray plumed headdress, black scarf, black cloak, white waistcoat, hounds-tooth pants, black socks and ORANGE shoes would be a fashion dud! But they carry it off regally!
Love this awesome video. The Canopy family guide beside Robert gives such knowlede and insight into the lives of the rare and beautiful Harpy Eagle. His love and enthusiasm is so heartwaming.
I hope people are aware that the Darien Jungle is called the Darien Gap which is the "hostile environment" claiming the lives of many illegal mmigrants going to the US. Their travel has caused much destruction to this beautiful natural habitat.
Much thanks Robert for another spectacular video. Take a bow!
Thanks 😊 glad you enjoyed the film and yes it’s also known for people trying to get through trying to make a better life for themselves but this is a very difficult place to travel
Thank you so much for making this!
In all the documentaries I've seen, they've focused on the terror and power of the Harpy. . . it's beautiful to see the nurturing side of this magnificent bird. ❤❤
OMG Robert this is fantastic 👀thank you 💕
It is brilliant :)
Oh my gosh!!! Harpies have always been my very most favorite, WOW!! MAKE MY MORNING!!! So good to see one again, but never have I seen a family!!! I'm so thrilled thank you, thank you!!❤️!!! And I'm so glad you made this trip, yay!!!!
*squeal* I'M SO JELLY!!! I bet it was a phenomenal trip!
Magnifique cet aigle, et quel regard !
Informative, respectful and beautiful to watch. Job well done.
The production quality and narration are off the hook. Bravo to you! Loved it
Sept 2019, I spent three weeks in Panama at Canopy Family … great three weeks, great bird guys like Eli or his older brother Daniello … and yes, we too got lucky to see the Harpy Eagle. Thanks for sharing Robert!
Cool Ty for sharing
To travel across the globe, trekking to some of the remotest areas of the world to get a few shots of natures treasure! Thanks for your hard work and for sharing it with humanity.
Oh what a beautiful bird!!
Amazing. Thank you Robert. And thank you to the Canopy also.
I recall watching a documentary years ago where two naturalists were fitting a nest cam.
The guy who installed the camera had to wear a helmet and body armour, they have ferociously long talons.👍
I love how excited your guide was to tell you about these harpies
Incredible footage. I always feel like I'm watching Nat Geo. They are so beautiful and getting to see a nest with a chick must have been amazing! Thanks for sharing this rare eagle with us! 😊🦅
Glad you enjoyed it watching it all back in a edit film was like reliving the incredible experience of seeing them in real life
INCREDIBLE VIDEO!! REF... Thank You for the TIME, EFFORT and DEDICATION that you provide to bring us All these EDUCATIONAL, AWE-INSPIRING & Necessary Videos!!😊👍👍💕
Love this!! ❤❤❤
Thank you for tgoing to such lengths to bring "us" with you.... but we can stay in the comfort of our homes... and relish all your work! You are a gift to both animal/nature lovers and to the animals!
hope we see more from this trip. thanks as always for sharing.
Loads more coming from Panama for sure we saw so much Sloths 🦥 next
Thank you all for allowing me to see such a beautiful raptor.Protect them and their environment
Yet again, then most amazing footage! Thank you for sharing
Amazing 😮
Thank you so much, Mr. Robert E. Fuller /Mr. Eliecer and all your team, for this amazing riveting film😍
The Harpy Eagle family is just magnificent😍💞 They are gorgeous💞 Unique Eagles😍 Wonderful unique video💞 Their lil fluffy Eaglet is chirping 😊(calling to Dad). It is so cute💖
Thank you for your brilliant job😍
What awesome beautiful Eagles🥰
Wonderful film such a fantastic bird most of us will never get there. So thanks Robert E Fuller for taking us all with you.
Awesome footage!!! This is on my bucket list to see one of these beautiful eagles one day...
I never would’ve thought an eagle would live in the jungle. Only one chick every five years, wow. Google says they live 35-40 years, so each pair may only produce another 7 or 8 eagles in their lifetimes. Protect these precious and beautiful birds. ❤️🦅
Such magnificent eagles. May Panama continue to protect them. Thank you Robert for showing them to us.
It’s a pleasure to share what an amazing country Panama is
Thank you for taking us with you on these exotic explors... just awesome!
Fabulous bird . Thank you for sharing this .
Who needs the BBC when you've got Robert Fuller's UA-cam channel? :D
😆 thanks we will keep bringing wildlife stories to you all
What an unique and stunning eagle. I have never before seen a video of a Harpy Eagle family. Now I know why. They are magnificent, I was thrilled to see the entire family. Thank you
I have never heard of the Harpie Eagle before. Thank you. They are stunning! Oh my how beautiful they are!
Bless you and all who participated in this amazing video! 🤩😍❤️ Absolutely beautiful.

I haven't seen this eagle much. It is definitely a charm. Very special sight. They are gorgeous. Tysm Robert for the beautiful journey 💖
What a special video!!! Thank you for all of your incredible hard work to bring this to everyone!
That forest is incredibly beautiful. It’s so wonderful that that family is so invested in taking care of the Harpy Eagles! Amazing footage as always. Thanks so much.
Yes, The farmers are very proud of having a Harpy nest on their land
Majestic Magnificent Harpy Eagles!!! The chick is Precious!!
Thank you, Robert 🤗
Stunning! You get an idea of how huge these birds are when the guide mentions they catch sloths as a snack! What an adventure - thanks for sharing.
Couldn't get better ... the empress of the Jungle... wonderful sighting and recording material .... wonderful job by Canopy Family... a moment to cherish for life...
What a gift! These are such beautiful birds, I'm so happy you got to see them! Thanks for sharing :)
That was brilliant! I like how they stick out their tongues and have fluffy heads. The little one reminds me of my Airedoodle. Thank you for another wonderful movie and shared adventure
Wow what beautiful eagles. You're so lucky to have had the opportunity to see them.
Thank you for taking us along to see these glorious eagles! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ooh, what a treasure ❤
Feel privileged to see this wonderful video of the magnificent harpy eagle family. Seeing the male and his beautiful wings was a bonus. Thank you Robert and to your guide/s, thank you ❤
We all felt very privileged to be there in the presence of such a spectacular bird in the Panama rainforest and it’s my pleasure to share it with so many people
The Harpy is so cool. I like the colors and the way they hunt monkeys .Greets Stefan
Wow, what an amazing sight! The Harpy Eagle is my favorite bird of prey. They are such a massive and majestic bird. Thank you for sharing your amazing sighting with us! ❤
Glad you enjoyed it it was a very special experience being there
Love your adventuresome spirit of Nature!!! Thank you, Robert💖💖💖👍😉
Wonderful video! Absolutely beautiful shots!
I'm afraid the link you posted goes not to the intended place though, just a heads up!
Rob, what an amazing eagle. I’ve never heard of a harpy eagle 🦅. It could have a place in a Harry Potter book. I’m so thrilling that you got to see one plus a baby chick. Thank you so much for sharing. Just amazing. 🥰🇦🇺
It looks like Buckbeak!
I've been waiting for this video!!! Thank you @Robert E. Fuller
What a beautiful
Place and how
Amazing is that
Bird
I love all raptors especially the Golden Eagle but the Harpy is indeed something special.
What beautiful, magnificent birds! I've really only seen pictures of them before. To see this video of a whole family, with their adorable little eaglet, is just amazing. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful opportunity with us all. 🥰
Take my breath away... Wow. That had to be so thrilling, so amazing to witness with your own eyes. I also liked the guide you had, he could hear the male before seeing it and was able to clue you in to his arrival by listening intently. Very nice! Thank you, really, THANK YOU!
God. Your content is top quality! Capturing such beautiful angles and colours of the animals.
THATS A BIG BIRB
Birb?! You mean BIRDDD
that's amazing that not only you got to see the nest but sharing it with others too. Such a great video with an important msg.
The production of your work is just magnificent. Not only are you capturing the site of these amazing creatures, but the quality of camera work and editing is great as well. from one videographer to another, you have simply inspired me. I love both film and animals and have never though to collide the 2 and I might just do it soon!
Thanks so much 😁 and good luck with your filming
This raptor the
Harpy Eagle looks like the fabled Phenix…
Majestic & Magical✨
Absolutely incredible. So glad they are hard to locate, but happy you persevered. Beautiful bird and calls.
So majestic…Absolutely magnificent. Imagine enjoying such panoramic views and living nature from my living room! The Harpy Eagle is such a mysteriously beautiful and phenomenal bird. So massive. Thank you RF. Thank you so much.
Eliecer seems like a very passionate and knowledgeable guide!
We loved our time with everyone that ran the Canopy camps and lodges especially Eliecer such a great guy
Milagro, Robert! I'm fascinated with this breed of bird. And seeing it in the 5 year cycle was doubly remarkable. Great footage, too. Thank you for your work in conservation.
We somehow brought bald eagles back from the brink here: praying the world responds.
From the heart from LA
WOW, You've seen so many of God's creations!!!!❤❤ On my bucket list is the chance to see a bald eagle in the wild. They are starting to make nests where I live so I hope soon I can scratch that off my list.
Western Washington has many wild bald eagles. I even saw one in downtown Seattle, flying between the two ferry terminals! (Downtown Seattle also has a breeding pair of peregrine falcons!)
What a stunning eagle, one I've never even heard of before, oh wow how loud is the call, loved how the baby chick called too, I'm hungry ❤❤❤❤❤
I literally got chills when the harpy first appeared. Im amazed.
Imagine being there it was almost surreal for us I have been very lucky to travel the world and see so much wildlife but this took my breath away
Bless you, Mr. Fuller and all of the people in Panama for allowing me to see what I would never be able to see up close in this life. *sending friendly, virtual hugs*
Just want to say you do an awesome job, with all the bird species you video. They're so ❤️
Wow! Just wow! I'd never even heard of the Harpy Eagle. It was wonderful to learn about this magnificent bird and to realize that I'd gotten such a rare glimpse. Thank you so much for letting us go with you on your incredible journey.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is a wonderful environment with wonderful animals. We could see the rare Harpy Eagle parent and child. Thank you for your valuable video.
Really cool we got to see an entire family. Spectacular Mr. Fuller.
Glad you enjoyed the Harpy eagles
Absolutely beautiful birds!
The harpy eagle is partly what's inspired the look of my fantasy eagles :) they're beautiful birds
It’s so cool when the baby called also after the Mama called for her mate for food
Bello animal 💝💝💝
Wow, it's hard to believe that this little fluffball will grow up into such a regal and elegant predator like momma 😊
Thank you so much for sharing this video and bringing more awareness to replenishing the rain forests. This is the first time I have seen or even heard of the Harpy Eagle and I am 60 years old! I am also sure this isn't the only species that I haven't heard of before unfortunately. Education is the key to helping people understand that Mother Earth gives us everything we need to live but we are supposed to be her caregivers. We need to learn to be MUCH better at it!!! ⭐💖🙏
What magnificent birds and a treat to see them. Thank you for this Robert.
Magnificent. So exciting when the male came home to his family. Wonderfully clear video. It does look like the people of Panama know how important this bird is. Thanks for sharing this.
What a great video. Thank you for the introduction to the Harpy Eagle.
I’ve known about harpy eagles but your video brought them to life, for me.
This is one majestic bird.
