Sobre

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.
