One of the most majestic birds I've seen, this was the second African Crowned Eagle observed on our trip. Due to its preference for dense old forest, it is under serious threat due to deforestation. This species is known to take good sized monkeys as prey. This was taken at Kakamega, northwest of Nairobi.
