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.

These social birds nest in large cliff colonies and can soar for hours using thermals without flapping.
