About These Birds
Tiny Hawk
The Tiny Hawk, <em>Accipiter superciliosus</em>, is among the smallest members of the family Accipitridae and is found in forested regions of Central and South America. It inhabits dense tropical and subtropical forest habitats, where its diminutive size likely allows it to hunt in dense undergrowth and canopy. Detailed plumage and bill characteristics are not fully described in the literature reviewed here. The nest is recorded as a platform-like structure consistent with other hawks in this genus. Incubation lasts approximately 30 …
Plain-breasted Hawk

Detailed plumage and behavioral descriptions of this species are limited in the available literature. It is believed to inhabit montane forest environments typical of Andean slopes, where it would likely hunt small birds and other vertebrates in a manner consistent with related accipiters. Diet, nesting habits, clutch size, and vocalizations have not been reliably characterized …
