Joking With Me

Note for the folks at home: I really like birds of prey, and there are all kinds of incredible specimens in Kenya. The most common, the Tawny Eagle, is a majestic light brown eagle that is often visible drifting effortlessly above the hills of Maralal, surveying the land below like the proud monarch of a raptor that it is. Other interesting carnivorous avians of the region include the Secretary Bird, which struts across the plains with predatory swagger, and the Hooded Vulture, a haggard-looking villain with an icy, unblinking stare.
