Description
Another new hawk...
The African Harrier Hawk is widely distributed throughout sub-Saharan Africa, from Senegal east to Sudan, Eritrea and Ethiopia, and south to South Africa, as well as on the island of Pemba. It inhabits mainly forest, woodland, wooded savanna, tall riparian vegetation and wooded ravines, up to elevations of around 3,000 m.
Its diet includes small mammals such as rodents and bats, as well as birds, eggs and nestlings, lizards, amphibians and insects. It may also occasionally take stranded fish or carrion. In West Africa, Harrier-hawks often feed on oil-palm fruits.
Rendered in Poser 2014 without any post work. Models: Trees (DinoRaul), Sunset SkyDome (Flink), African Harrier Hawk (from "Songbird ReMix Birds of Prey v2"/ Ken Gilliland) and Branch ("Perching Places"/Ken Gilliland)
