À propos
Gundlach's Hawk (<em>Accipiter gundlachi</em>) is a medium-sized raptor in the family Accipitridae, the hawks, eagles, and kites. It is endemic to Cuba, where it inhabits coastal and forest environments, including both lowland forests and wooded areas across the island. This species is currently assessed as Endangered by the IUCN, reflecting significant population pressures from habitat loss and persecution. As Cuba's only endemic accipiter, it represents a species of considerable conservation concern. Detailed plumage and bill descriptions are limited in the available literature. Nesting records indicate a clutch size typically ranging from 2 to 4 eggs. Information on diet, song, and specific behavioral ecology is not documented in the available records for this species.
