Spotted
The Black-and-white Hawk-Eagle is a striking raptor found in the Neotropics, easily identifiable by its contrasting black upperparts and pure white underparts. It is an agile hunter of birds and mammals in forest environments.
Where to spot
Forests, woodlands, and forest edges from southern Mexico south through Central and South America to northern Argentina.
How to spot
Look for its unmistakable black upperparts, black crest, and pure white underparts and head. Its striking contrast is visible even at a distance, especially in flight, making it relatively easy to identify.
When to spot
Year-round, active during daylight. Often seen soaring high or perched conspicuously on emergent trees, especially during warmer parts of the day.
