Mangrove Black-Hawk

Mangrove Black-Hawk

Mangrove Black-Hawk

February 2013 – Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica

These were fairly common in the Carate Beach area… They look like some other Black-Hawk species, but I had to do a bit of detective work to arrive at this identification… just because they’re called a “Mangrove” Black-Hawk, doesn’t mean there needs to be a mangrove forest nearby…
