Black Hawk-Eagle in Costa Rica
Spizaetus tyrannus
The most reliable place to see the black hawk-eagle in Costa Rica is lowland and foothill forest on both slopes — Sarapiquí, Arenal, and the Osa Peninsula, best Year-round. A canopy raptor that soars high and calls often but rarely perches in the open, so most sightings come from a guide who knows its territories and reads its whistled call.
