Secretary bird - Sagittarius serpentarius
I love me some secretary birds. They’ll up and stomp a snake just for gettin’ in their territory. And don’t come at them when they’ve got eggs! Breeding season is year-round depending upon food supply, so you never know when you’ll be smacked down!
Their name is thought to be because of their quill-feathers, resembling a secretary with a quill pen behind their ear, as was common at the end of the 18th century, when the bird was first described by a European.
While they’re one of only two terrestrial birds of prey (the Caracaraof Central America and northern South America being the other), secretary birds fly easily. They’re about 4.5 ft (1.4 m) tall, and primarily hunt small animals. Mice, hares, crabs, and lizards make up the bulk of their diet, but they’ve been known to hunt snakes, tortoises, baby gazelle, and even baby cheetah at times.

Starting to get my new bird accustomed to people. After catching the bird from the wild, it takes 4 - 6 weeks of training before the bird can be released and counted on to (usually) fly back to my fist.

I refuse to believe that this isn’t based off of roxannameta’s wonderful black canary cosplayBlack Canary drawing I did around the same time as Power Girl and Wonder Woman but forgot to upload. D’oh!
Actually I never heard of this cosplayer but I’m glad you provided that link because she is fab!
She’s completely awesome! And it’s actually kind of crazy how much your drawing looks like her in the face though.
Well, this is how Dinah always looked in my head, which why I drew her this way.
She looks totally badass! I can only hope to come across as this badass. ;) Thanks for the mention and the kind words <3
