The Cuban Black Hawk (Buteogallus gundlachii) is a bird of prey in the family Accipitridae, which also includes the eagles, hawks and Old World vultures.

It is endemic to the island of Cuba, where restricted to coastal areas. It has traditionally been considered a subspecies of the Common Black Hawk (B. anthracinus), but recent evidence suggests it should be treated as a separate species.[1] Consequently, the AOU formally acknowledged it as a species in 2007.

Very impressive -- sharp, good color, good exposure. I like the low point of view. It's as if this hawk has much dignity. Gary

Hi Mario,

A fine arrogant pose with good feather detail due to the sharpneess of the image. Nice and close.

Hello Mario,
Excellent sharp-detailed portrait of this Cuban Black Hawk. Beautiful natural colours and very sharp.
Excellent low POV and OOF BG.
