How to spot
Look for its rapid, undulating flight or its characteristic dash through foliage when hunting. Often perches secretively within trees. Listening for its sharp 'keek-keek' calls can reveal its presence.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, often seen hunting during morning and late afternoon. It can be observed year-round in its resident range.

Females of this species are significantly larger than males, a common trait among raptors, which helps them specialize on different sizes of prey and reduce competition within a pair.
