How to spot
Look for its pure white body with black primary wingtips and a black-banded tail. Often perches openly on tall trees overlooking forest clearings. Listen for its high-pitched, whistled calls.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, often seen soaring above the canopy or perched conspicuously on a prominent tree. Observable year-round.

Its stark white plumage makes it easily recognizable, especially when soaring against a dark forest backdrop or a clear blue sky.
