Field Notes
Description:
The Secretary Bird is instantly recognizable as having an eagle-like body on crane-like legs which increases the bird’s height to around 4 ft tall. This 4.5 ft long bird has an eagle-like head with a hooked bill, but has rounded wings with a wingspan of over 6.6 ft. Due to its long legs and long tail, it is both longer and taller than any other diurnal raptor.
Notes:
Secretary birds are very adept at killing snakes.
