The African hawk-eagle

The African hawk-eagle is a large bird of prey. Like all eagles, it belongs to the family "Accipitridae". The African hawk-eagle breeds in tropical Sub-Saharan Africa. It is a bird of wooded hills, building a stick nest about 3 feet in diameter in the fork of a large tree. The clutch is generally one or two eggs.
