New breeding, distribution and prey records for the Pygmy Eagle 'Hieraeetus weiskei'
An active nest of the Pygmy Eagle Hieraaetus weiskei is described, providing the first documented observation of a downy chick in late January and hence an indicative laying date of late November/early December. The first documented record of this species for Waigeo Island (West Papua Province) is presented. A prey item being carried by another Pygmy Eagle is identified as a probable Brown (Slender-billed) Cuckoo-Dove Macropygia amboinensis, and another Pygmy Eagle had fed upon a Mountain Fruit-Dove Ptilinopus bellus
