The Indian Spotted Eagle is a raptor of lowland South Asia. It nests in trees or groves within cultivated areas and gardens; in one study in northwest India, most prey delivered to nests were rodents.
Adults are generally rich brown. In flight, the wingtip feathers spread like fingers and the pale feathers of the wings and tail show fine brown bars. Younger birds are paler, with light spots on the breast and belly.
A study of three nests at Belgaum in northwestern India recorded 90 prey items delivered to the nests: 89 were rodents and one was a frog.
An extinction-risk assessment has not been added yet.
