Pale Chanting Goshawk, Tsavo National Park, Kenya


Pale Chanting Goshawk (Melierax canorus) is a bird of prey in the family Accipitridae. This hawk breeds in eastern and southern sub-Saharan Africa. The northeastern subspecies is sometimes separated as the Eastern Chanting Goshawk Melierax poliopterus, in which case the southern form becomes Southern Pale Chanting Goshawk. It is a resident species of dry, open semi-desert with 75 cm or less annual rainfall. It is commonly seen perched on roadside telephone poles.
