The White-rumped Hawk is a rare and localized raptor of South America, distinctive for its white rump patch. It is a secretive forest species found in montane areas.
Where to spot
Found in fragmented populations in the Andes of South America (e.g., Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia). It primarily inhabits tropical moist montane forests.
How to spot
An extremely challenging bird to observe. Requires patient searching within dense montane forests. Look for the white rump in flight and listen for any calls.
When to spot
Observations are very scarce. Like other forest raptors, it is active during daylight hours, but specific patterns are not well documented.
