Spotted
The White-throated Hawk is a rare and poorly known raptor found in the humid montane forests of the Andes. It is characterized by its dark upperparts and striking white throat.
Where to spot
Humid montane forests of the Andes, from Venezuela south to Bolivia, typically at elevations between 1,500 and 3,000 meters.
How to spot
Look for its dark body, prominent white throat, and dark tail. Due to its rarity and preference for high elevations and dense forests, it is best observed by scanning the skies above montane cloud forests.
When to spot
Year-round resident, active during daylight hours. Early mornings and late afternoons might offer better chances of observation.

This elusive hawk is often detected by its distinctive, high-pitched vocalizations rather than by sight, as it spends much of its time soaring high above the dense forest canopy.
