Haliaetus vocifer
A large and majestic bird. The adult is unmistakable and easily recognized even from far away (as it is often observed perched on a tallest tree in his/her territory), with its black to dark brown coat, chestnut belly and underwings, and bright white chest, neck and head. Massif and yellow raptor's bill with black tip.
The wooded shores of Awassa lake, mainly forested with patches of marshes. I observed these eagles every time I went to this lake, my visits being years apart... The lake is very popular for birds and bird-watching; some other animals can also be observed there. Absolutely stunning bird-watching experience at dawn.
