How to spot
Look for its dark, almost black upperparts, white throat, and contrasting rich rufous belly and flanks. Its bright yellow legs and cere are also noticeable. Watch for its agile flight as it pursues prey.
When to spot
Year-round, active during daylight. Often seen soaring above forest clearings or perched on emergent trees, especially in the morning.
