Dark Chanting Goshawk (juvenile)

This young Dark Chanting Goshawk is sitting atop a fallen tree trunk. The sun is high in the sky on this hazy day, in the is fairly dry Meru region. Mammals, birds, and reptiles are among the many creatures that this raptor preys on. Usually hunting from a perch, it swoops down to catch prey that is either in the air or on the ground.
