Limited Edition of 25 prints per size
Every morning before sunrise, hot air balloons take flight over the Masai Mara in Kenya. On our last morning, we left before dawn in hopes of finding some big five to photograph silhouetted in the sunrise. After a successful shoot of a pride of lions (see The King at Sunrise), we left the pride only to find this gorgeous Martial Eagle perched on a bush in search of breakfast. The hot air balloon in the background was a bonus!
Martial Eagles are the largest African bird of prey. The females are larger than the males, and they have a varied diet from termites to small antelope and more. A recent study has gathered together all of the information that demonstrates that these raptors are hunting lion cubs - weighting approximately 13 pounds - in the Mara. I was happy to see lion cubs that morning with the pride at sunrise, and also thrilled to see a Martial Eagle, but delighted not to see one in the talons of the other.
