Avian Image of the Week for the week ending July 20th, 2012: Wynand van Wyk - Pale Chanting Goshawk

[Daniel Cadieux]

Congratulations Wynand!!!

I captured this image in the Kgalagadi Transfontier Park. We were very lucky to come across 2 of these Goshawks chasing a Black Backed Jackal around. One of them flew in and went to sit on this perch, after a while he flew off and I captured this image.
Small amount of canvas extended to the right.
