The secretarybird is a unique long-legged raptor, endemic to Africa. It kills its prey (snakes, lizards) by stomping. The images include a displaying pair, nest-building, incubating, preening and hunting. The last four images (27-30) show a chase, possibly a territorial dispute. The two images above of a nest in the Serengeti (2-08) are courtesy of Fain Zimmerman; click the left image to see more. |
