The Formidable Fisher! - a photo on Flickriver

            The African Fish Eagle (Haliaeetus vocifer), is a large species of eagle found throughout sub-Saharan Africa wherever large bodies of open water with an abundant food supply occur. 
This species may resemble the bald eagle in appearance; though related, each species occurs on different continents, with the bald eagle being resident in North America.
The African fish eagle feeds mainly on fish, which it swoops down upon from a perch in a tree, snatching the prey from the water with its large, clawed talons. The eagle then flies back to its perch to eat its catch.

This formidable African Fish Eagle was photographed coming in to pluck a fish from the water during a photography safari on an early morning boat ride on Lake Baringo, Kenya.
