The Sulawesi Honey Buzzard is a medium-sized raptor endemic to the island of Sulawesi and its surrounding smaller islands in Indonesia. Like other honey buzzards, it specializes in feeding on insects, particularly the larvae and pupae of wasps and bees.
Where to spot
Humid primary and secondary forests, often in hilly or mountainous terrain, on Sulawesi and adjacent islands.
How to spot
Look for its dark brown upperparts, paler barred underparts, and noticeable crest. Its flight pattern is typical of honey buzzards, with deep wing beats and occasional glides. Listening for its calls can aid in detection.
When to spot
Year-round, active during daylight. More easily seen when soaring over forest canopies, especially during warmer parts of the day.

Its relatively dark plumage and specific habitat preferences in Sulawesi help distinguish it from other honey buzzards in the region.
