The Rufous-necked Sparrowhawk is a small to medium-sized raptor distinctive for the rufous wash on its neck and chest in adults. It is a denizen of tropical forests, often hunting within the canopy.
Where to spot
Found in the Solomon Islands and New Guinea, inhabiting tropical lowland and montane forests, often near forest edges or clearings.
How to spot
Scan the forest canopy and mid-story for its rapid, direct flight or for it perched quietly on a branch. Listening for its calls can also aid in detection within its dense habitat.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours, with hunting activity often peaking in the cooler parts of the day, such as early morning and late afternoon.
