Ornate Hawk-Eagle (Colombia)
The Ornate Hawk-eagle’s range covers most of the Neotropics – with a fairly consistent range from southern Mexico to Panama. In South America its range is more scattered, with populations tending to be more established in the Amazon basin.
The species’ primary habitat is wet primary rainforest and lowlands, but it can also be found in middle elevations of montane forest and the pine forests of countries such as Mexico.
This is a species with a relatively low reproductive output, with the laying of a single egg followed by long dependency periods. Egg laying tends to happen during the dry season, so that offspring can fledge during the monsoon season and benefit from the higher density of prey that accompanies the rains.
Ornate Hawk-eagle were uplisted to Near Threatened by the IUCN in 2012, due to the threats facing large swathes of their remaining habitats.
