The secretary bird is pretty common on the savannas of sub-Sahara Africa. They look like a raptor on stilts. They are quite large and can grow to over 4 feet tall. This secretary bird was taking a stroll through a herd of zebra at the end of the day in Kenya. Nikon Z8 with Nikkor 500mm PF lens, ISO 450, f/5.6 at 1/800th of a second.
What an image! The secretary bird is holding its head high, leaving the steno pool as it heads over to check on the “test pattern” provided by the zebra’s east end as the zebra faces (roughly) west!
