Tawny Eagle - a photo on Flickriver

Tawny Eagle

            Ndutu area in southeastern Serengeti, Tanzania

a large and widespread eagle that lives in rather dry and fairly open areas but typically not in areas without trees. 
Besides capturing its own prey the Tawny also steals kills  from other birds of prey and is also a scavenger. Actually just like the Bateleur the Tawny Eagle often finds dead animals before the vultures arrive. 

Like so many other large birds of prey this is an endangered species now and the numbers continue to decrease. 
IUCN Red List status: Vulnerable
