Description
The African Fish Eagle(Haliaeetus vocifer) Which is so named to distinguish it from the African Sea Eagle, but the romantic in me likes to think it is due to its call, which once heard is never forgotten. And as a result is called the Voice of Africa.
This Eagle feeds mainly on fish, which is no surprise, upon spying it from a perch in a tree, it will swoop down upon and snatch from the water with those large clawed talons and fly back to its perch to eat. Should the African Fish Eagles catch a fish over 1.8 kg (4 pounds) it will be too heavy to allow it to get lift, so it will instead drag the fish across the surface of the water until it reaches the shore. If it catches a fish that is too heavy to even allow the eagle to sustain flight, it will drop into the water and paddle to the nearest shore with its wings. It will also feed on waterfowl, small turtles, baby crocodiles, and carrion, so no doubr popular for this as well.
