About These Birds
Black-collared Hawk
The Black-collared Hawk is a medium-sized raptor of South and Central American wetlands, with distinctive white head, chestnut body, and a black collar across the lower throat. It ranges from Mexico south through the Amazon Basin to Argentina, inhabiting the edges of rivers, lakes, marshes, and flooded forests. It feeds almost exclusively on fish, plunging feet-first into water to capture prey.

Der Steinadler zählt zu den kraftvollsten und wendigsten Greifvögeln der nördlichen Hemisphäre. Von zahlreichen Kulturen verehrt, wird er seit Jahrhunderten in der Falknerei eingesetzt, insbesondere von kasachischen Adlerjägern Zentralasiens. Bei der Jagd können Steinadler im Sturzflug Geschwindigkeiten von über 240 km/h erreichen.
