African Fish Eagle

A large, iconic bird of prey instantly recognizable by its snow-white head, neck, and breast, which contrast sharply with its chocolate-brown body and black wings. Known as the "Voice of Africa," it has a famous high-pitched, yodeling call. It is a specialized hunter that primarily feeds on fish, snatching them from the water's surface with powerful talons, but it will also prey on water birds and small reptiles. They are typically found in pairs near lakes, rivers, and coastal lagoons throughout sub-Saharan Africa.
