🌎 Cooper's Hawk (Astur cooperii) The Cooper's Hawk is a medium-sized bird of prey with short, rounded wings and a long, barred tail. Adults are blue-gray above with rufous barring below, and have red eyes. It is widely distributed across North America, breeding from southern Canada to Mexico, and can be found in woodlands and increasingly suburban areas. Its behavior is characterized by stealth hunting, flying with rapid wingbeats and short glides, using agility to pursue smaller birds through dense vegetation. No subspecies are recognised. 2.5 Flash (Edited) Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1) Fun fact: A Cooper's Hawk's eye colour is a good indicator of age! Juveniles have bright yellow eyes, which slowly change to yellow-orange, and eventually to a deep red in fully mature adults. 📷: Photo by Malibuskiboats via Pixabay https://pixabay.com/photos/coopers-hawk-bird-raptor-hawk-5827147/ JEAJ

🌍 African Hawk-eagle (Aquila spilogaster) The African Hawk-eagle is a medium-sized bird of prey, widespread throughout sub-Saharan Africa. Adults have slate black-grey upperparts and white underparts with bold black streaks. It favours woodland, savanna, and rivers. A largely sedentary, monogamous bird, it hunts small to medium-sized birds and mammals, often from a perch or by soaring, and may hunt in pairs. No subspecies are recognised. 2.5 Flash (Edited) Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1) Fun fact: The African hawk-eagle has feathered legs all the way down to its feet, which is a characteristic that marks it as a member of the Aquilinae subfamily, often called the "booted eagles." 📷: Photo by GildAix via Pixabay https://pixabay.com/photos/bird-eagle-ornithology-species-8049125/ CFJX

🌍🌏 Shikra (Tachyspiza badia) The shikra is a small bird of prey (26-30 cm long) with short, rounded wings and a narrow, somewhat long tail. Adults have grey upperparts and whitish underparts with fine rufous bars; males possess red irises, while females have yellowish-orange eyes and are slightly larger. Juveniles are browner with streaked breasts. Widely distributed across Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, Shikras inhabit diverse environments including forests, farmlands, and urban areas. They are typically seen singly or in pairs. Their flight involves characteristic flaps and glides. Agile hunters, they often perch silently, then execute rapid, stealthy attacks on small birds, lizards, and insects. During breeding, pairs engage in aerial displays and vocalizations. 2.5 Flash (Edited) Six subspecies are recognised.

🌍 Martial eagle (Polemaetus bellicosus) The martial eagle is a large, powerful bird of prey with dark brown upperparts, a short crest, and white underparts heavily spotted with black. Females are larger than males. It inhabits open woodlands, savannas, and grasslands across much of sub-Saharan Africa, favoring areas with large trees for nesting and perching. This solitary eagle is often seen soaring at great heights while hunting. It has exceptional eyesight, enabling it to spot prey from kilometers away before swooping down for the kill. Its diet consists mainly of medium to large-sized birds, mammals, and reptiles. Martial eagles are generally shy and maintain large territories. No subspecies are recognised.
