Spotted
The Bicolored Hawk is a striking medium-sized raptor found throughout Central and South America, characterized by its dark upperparts and pale underparts. It is a powerful hunter of forests.
Where to spot
Widespread from Mexico through Central and South America to northern Argentina. It inhabits tropical and subtropical forests, woodlands, and gallery forests.
How to spot
Look for its contrasting dark back and white belly. It often perches quietly within the forest. Listen for its loud, ringing calls, which can alert you to its presence.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours, often seen soaring above the canopy or hunting from a concealed perch within the forest. Observable year-round.
This hawk's scientific name, 'bicolor,' accurately reflects its plumage, which is sharply divided into dark slate-grey above and clean white below, making it quite distinctive.
