This document summarizes findings from citizen science data on secretarybird populations in South Africa. Analysis of data from the Southern African Bird Atlas Projects and Coordinated Avifaunal Roadcounts showed that secretarybird reporting rates have declined in most provinces, with the strongest declines in the Eastern Cape, Free State, and Northern Cape. The data also indicated that secretarybirds prefer natural habitats to transformed habitats, though they are still seen more often in transformed areas in the Western Cape due to habitat loss. Overall, the South African secretarybird population appears to be declining due to habitat loss and bush encroachment.
