Secretary Bird

By rontear  
Namibia is not all dunes, grasslands feature a large part of this parched land. Grass means animals and reptiles, snakes, lizards. This is what the Secretary Bird is after. A proficient hunter !!!

Great shot, Ron. Can you see T Rex or Velociraptor here....their direct ancestors?
