African Fish Eagle | Haliaeetus vocifer

South Luangwa National Park, Zambia

_______

 

An instantly recognizable African eagle. It's equally distinctive call of *'kyow-kow-kow' is one of the most evocative sounds of Africa, in my view.

 

* As described in 'Sasol Birds of Southern Africa' 4th Ed.

 

Every recent encounter I've had with these birds, they are invariably in a tree against an overcast sky - not ideal with a white-headed bird. This is the only passable shot I've managed to get.
