Spotted
The Western Semi-collared Hawk is a rare and distinctive medium-sized raptor of western South America, named for its subtle half-collar. It is a secretive inhabitant of humid forests.
Where to spot
Found in western South America, primarily in western Colombia and northwestern Ecuador. It inhabits tropical moist lowland and foothill forests.
How to spot
An exceptionally challenging bird to observe. Requires diligent searching within humid foothill forests. Listen for calls and look for brief flights through the canopy.
When to spot
Observations are scarce due to its rarity and dense habitat. Likely active during daylight hours, but specific patterns are not well documented.
Its 'semi-collared' appearance is a key, albeit subtle, field mark for this rarely seen hawk, separating it from similar forest raptors.
