A Brief Glimpse
A fish eagle is the voice of African water before it is a bird: white head bright in the sun, dark wings cutting above river, lake, or delta, talons ready beneath perfect command. Its call rings out clean and wild — a high, carrying cry that seems to stitch sky to water — and for a moment the whole landscape feels named.
