About These Birds

African Hawk-eagle

The African Hawk-eagle weighs about 1.45kg and inhabits woodland and forest across sub-Saharan Africa. It is a bold and powerful hunter of medium-sized birds and mammals.

Bermuda Hawk

The Bermuda Hawk was a large hawk that was endemic to Bermuda and became extinct shortly after human settlement of the islands in the early 17th century. Known only from subfossil bones, it was probably a broad-winged raptor that preyed on seabirds and other island fauna. Habitat destruction and hunting contributed to its extinction.
