Augur Buzzard

Slideshow images 6-8 show a young Augur buzzard that hunted mice from a perch in a dead tree about fifty feet from our house in IlBoru and also chased rodents on the ground. Images10-12 show a dark morph in the Lerai Forest in Ngorongoro Crater. The bird is common and seen often near habitation and agricultural fields as in images 6-8. In the adults note the short reddish, non-barred tail, the distinct dark trailing wing edge and the typical "comma" on the white wing.
