Fishing for an Eagle
It’s our last day here in Africa. We head on vacation next week, so new posts til March. We will definitely be coming back! In March we will be heading to the large island just off the coast of Africa- Madagascar. Woohoo! Today we meet a large bird – the African Fishing Eagle.

Eagles are amazing. Last year in Washington state we watched 5 of them flying around the ocean. They were so elegant.
