The Tiny Hawk is one of the smallest raptors in the world, an elusive inhabitant of Neotropical forests. Its diminutive size and secretive nature make it incredibly difficult to observe.
Where to spot
Found in Central and South America, from southern Mexico to northern Bolivia and Brazil. It inhabits tropical moist lowland and montane forests.
How to spot
Requires extreme patience and keen eyes within dense forest interiors. Listen for its high-pitched calls, as visual sightings are often fleeting glances of a bird darting through foliage.
When to spot
Observations are rare due to its elusiveness. Likely active during daylight hours, particularly in the early morning when it may be more vocal or active.
Despite its name, the Tiny Hawk is a formidable predator that primarily preys on small, fast-moving birds, demonstrating remarkable agility and speed for its size.
