Description: This photograph showcases the striking features of the Madagascan Harrier-Hawk (Polyboroides radiatus), a unique and fascinating bird of prey native to the island of Madagascar. With its distinctively shaped head and powerful hooked beak, this harrier hawk is a true master of the hunt in its natural habitat. 3.
