Martial Eagle with Thomson’s Gazelle Fawn, Kenya

Photo of a martial eagle on a Thomson's Gazelle fawn.

This martial eagle looks pretty big compared to the little Thomson’s gazelle fawn. I had been photographing it  perched on the top of a tree when it soared down to a spot about 50 yards away.  We followed and observed.  It used  its talons to kill the fawn.  It waited until the fawn was dead to begin feeding, unlike some predators.
