The white-bellied go-away bird gets its name from its alarm call. They say it sounds like the bird is screaming “go away.” Not sure I exactly agree with “they” on this one, but perhaps the go-away birds I’ve encountered haven’t been alarmed enough. This one was hanging around our camp in northern Kenya, flying in to a birdbath that was strategically placed for optimal viewing. These guys are quite large — about the size of a crow. Nikon Z8 with Nikkor 180-600mm lens (at 380mm) ISO 3200, f/6.3 at 1/2500th of a second.

Abraham Lincoln!
Maybe a better name than the go away bird would have been the Abe bird.
