Spotted
The Grey Hawk is a medium-sized raptor characterized by its striking uniform grey plumage and agile hunting style. It is typically found in arid and semi-arid regions.
Where to spot
Southwestern United States, Mexico, and Central America, often found in riparian woodlands, deserts, and open country with scattered trees.
How to spot
Look for its uniform grey body, barred tail, and a distinctive white patch at the base of the primaries (flight feathers) when soaring. It often perches conspicuously on telephone poles or tall trees.
When to spot
Year-round resident in its range, most active during the day, particularly mid-morning and late afternoon.

Until recently, the Grey Hawk was considered a subspecies of the Grey-lined Hawk (*Buteo nitidus*), but genetic and morphological studies have confirmed its status as a distinct species.
