What an interesting-looking bird, kind of like a mix between a crane & an eagle. This Secretarybird was captured by Rene Rossouw in SA.

Secretary Birds kill their prey by kicking it with their feet. Their prey is varied, but they are most famous for eating snakes.

They are common in Puerto Rico but are critically endangered on the Virgin Islands.

What a special capture for our birds from your continent theme.
