May 15, 2022 - African Cuckoo-Hawk or African Baza (Aviceda cuculoides)
Found in much of sub-Saharan Africa, these bazas live in dense woodlands and forests. They eat mostly lizards and insects, along with some other vertebrates and invertebrates, capturing prey in trees or on the ground. Pairs perform courtship display flights and build nests together from sticks, vines, roots, grasses, and green leaves high in trees. Females lay clutches of two or three eggs. Both parents care for the chicks.
