Semi-collared hawks are rare accipiters of tropical mountain forests in Latin America. This one was photographed along the Manu Road, at about 1500 m elevation in southeastern Peru. It was sunning itself after bathing (wet feathers are apparent in some of these images). The species is about the size of the North American Cooper's hawk but is strikingly black and white instead of the rust-and-gray coloration of Coops -- and it has a partial white neck collar that provides the common name. |
