Spotted
The Black Hawk-Eagle is a powerful, dark eagle found in the Neotropics, characterized by its entirely black plumage, bright yellow cere and feet, and often a shaggy crest. It is a formidable predator of birds and mammals in forest environments.
Where to spot
Humid forests and woodlands from southern Mexico south through Central and South America to northern Argentina.
How to spot
Look for its entirely glossy black plumage, bright yellow legs and cere, and relatively long, broad wings. Listen for its loud, ringing calls, often a series of ascending whistles, which help to locate this elusive species.
When to spot
Year-round, active during daylight. Often seen soaring above the canopy or perched on a high, exposed branch, especially in the morning or late afternoon.
