ROADSIDE HAWK(Species Account Weblog #93)

TAXONOMIC TREE:  

  • ORDER: Accipitriformes,
  • FAMILY: Accipitridae,

The Roadside Hawk, which is discovered from northern Mexico south to Argentina, is likely one of the most widespread raptors of the neotropics. It’s so named resulting from its choice for the sides of forest; it happens in many various environments, together with the sides of tropical lowland forest, deciduous forest, and desert. The grownup has staring pale eyes and streaked breast contrasting with barred stomach. (from Birds of the World)

The Roadside Hawk is the smallest hawk within the widespread genus Buteo. In flight, the comparatively lengthy tail and disproportionately brief wings of the roadside hawk are distinctive.
