How to spot
Look for its quick, powerful flight through forest. Pay close attention to its plumage (all white vs. grey) for identification. Listen for its harsh, rapid calls, especially during breeding season.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours, often seen hunting in the early morning or late afternoon. It is a resident species in its range.
