If you follow this link, the folder has mucho images of raptors in flight from Thailand where along with Deborah Allen, I have been doing raptor migration research for the last few years during August-November:

Double-clicking on most of the images will enlarge them considerably. Scroll down a bit through the landscape images and such until you get to the birds including bee-eaters, swifts...and raptors such as Chinese Sparrowhawks, Shikras, Black Bazas, etc. The site (Khao Dinsor) is perhaps the best location on continental South-east Asia to photograph east Asian migrants.

If you prefer eagles, specifically Steppe Eagles (Aquila nipalensis), then the folder on raptor migration in Nepal is for you:

There are photos of eight of the nine vulture species found in Nepal, including one species new to the country we discovered during our research this past Nov-Dec. Almost all the images show raptors in flight - some species rarely seen before.

Regards from NYC, and tell Artie that Brooklyn (and JMBR) misses him.
