I had already met one African Harrier Hawk in Botswana, so it was easy to recognize this very active eagle-like bird. African harrier Hawk (or Gymnogene) (Polyboroides typus), Gymnogène d’Afrique. Ndutu Lake, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Tanzania

African Harrier Hawk (Gymnogene)
This medium-sized eagle was a great discovery for me in Botswana. The African Harrier Hawk (Gymnogene) hunts for insects and small animals in dead trees and rocks. It’s very mobile and devilishly active. African harrier Hawk (or Gymnogene) (Polyboroides typus), Gymnogène d’Afrique. Moremi National Park, Botswana, May 2010.
