Field Notes

Description:

We spotted this Martial Eagle right after it had killed an Egyptian Goose. We watched it for over an hour as it hopped and dragged the goose to a spot under a large tree. Every time another raptor flew over, he would spread his wings to cover his catch.

Habitat:

Mostly open Savanna woodland
