The Sulawesi Hawk-Eagle is a medium-sized eagle endemic to Sulawesi and some surrounding islands in Indonesia. It inhabits forests and wooded areas, preying on birds, mammals, and reptiles.
Where to spot
Primary and secondary forests, especially humid lowland and montane forests, on Sulawesi and nearby islands like Buton.
How to spot
Look for its dark brown upperparts, pale underparts with dark streaking, and a short crest. Its vocalizations are key to identification, often a series of loud, ringing calls that carry through the forest.
When to spot
Year-round, active during daylight. Often seen soaring over forest canopies or perched within the trees.
It shares its island home with other unique endemic species, highlighting the rich biodiversity of Sulawesi and its importance for conservation.
