Eastern Chanting Goshawk Nest

Category: Birds | Date: Apr 30 2008 | By: tumaren

Kichine, one of our rangers was scouting today and came upon an Eastern Chanting Goshawk’s nest. ECGs, as we call them around here are our most common raptor , principally preying on other birds and reptiles. Our friends at Ol Malo, a beautiful lodge north of here had a friendly agama lizard named Stubby that would feed from the hand and had been around the lodge for quite some time when during breakfast there was a flash before the window. To everyones horor stubby was taken away in the clutches of an ECG.

Here is the one young in the nest:
