This is an African Fish Eagle.  Lots of African Fish Eagles live near Lake Victoria in Africa.  They sit in trees and watch the river or lake.

The African Fish Eagle is a bird of prey.  Birds of prey chase, catch and eat animals.

The African Fish Eagle eats fish from rivers and lakes.  Two fish they like are called Catfish and Lungfish.  Sometimes they eat birds like ibis, storks, herons, spoonbills and the Lesser Flamingo. 

They build a big nest.  They use the same nest each year.  They lay 1 to 3 white eggs.
