About These Birds
African Goshawk
The African Goshawk is a medium-sized forest hawk weighing about 314g found across sub-Saharan Africa. It is a swift and agile hunter of birds and small mammals in dense woodland and forest.
Beaudouin's Snake-eagle
Beaudouin's Snake-eagle is a vulnerable raptor found in forest-savanna mosaics and woodland edges in West and Central Africa. It resembles other snake-eagles with a large, rounded head, yellow eyes, and lightly barred underparts. As its name suggests, it preys primarily on snakes, which it catches in open areas, and is threatened by deforestation and habitat degradation.
