I had to get low for this one. In fact, I wanted to get even lower to place the secretary bird’s head further into the sun, but well… the ground got in the way. Secretary birds are large, long-legged birds of prey native to sub-Saharan Africa, known for hunting snakes and insects on foot. We see them every now and again in the early morning perched high in acacia trees, warming themselves in the sun before descending to the ground to begin their day of stalking. Nikon Z8 with Nikkor 500mm PF lens, ISO 72, f/5.6 at 1/2000th of a second.

Nice!
This is beautiful!
Thanks Teresa. The sun lined up nicely for me to capture a rare silhouette image.
