White Hawk

Pseudastur albicollis

The White Hawk (Pseudastur albicollis) is a striking raptor found in the forests of Central and South America. This bird is known for its predominantly white plumage with black wingtips and a distinctive pale blue facial skin. It has a powerful build and a piercing gaze, making it an impressive sight in its natural habitat. White Hawks are often observed soaring high above the forest canopy, using their keen eyesight to spot prey such as small mammals, reptiles, and birds. They are known for their distinctive, high-pitched calls that echo through the forest. Despite being relatively common in its range, the White Hawk faces threats from habitat loss and deforestation.
