Solitary Eagle

Buteogallus solitarius

The Solitary Eagle is a large raptor found in the neotropical region, characterized by its dark plumage and distinctive white patches on the wings. This solitary bird of prey is known for its powerful and agile flight, often soaring high above the forest canopy in search of prey. It primarily feeds on small mammals, birds, and reptiles. The Solitary Eagle is a secretive species, making it challenging to study and monitor in the wild. Due to habitat loss and hunting, its population is declining, and it is considered vulnerable to extinction.

Habitat: Tropical and subtropical forests
