Black-collared hawk
Busarellus nigricollis

46-52cm; wingspan 115-143cm

Uncommon but widely distributed in Amazonia. Closely associated with water; always found along rivers or at edges of marshes and lakes.

Often perches low over the water; drops down to capture prey. Also may soar.

A very attractive hawk. Juveniles much browner than adults, but Black-collared readily is recognized in all plumages by pale head, blackish chest band,and short tail.

Voice: Call a deep growl that trails off "G'hehrrrrr". Young give whistled screams

Found in: Peru, Colombia, Ecuador, Brazil ,Bolivia

Wow Selen!
This is the first time I see this bird I think! This eye contact is impressive. They have good eyes and he was obviously looking at you! Texture, patterns and colors of his wings is fabulous. The plain background makes him stands out so well! This is beautiful! Thanks,

Hello Selen,
A superb clear portrait of a Black-collared Hawk taken in a great pose from a fine POV against a neutral BG in fine lighting with good use of flash.
At first I would have liked to see a vertical composition but this horizontal composition works well.
TFS this impressive image,
All the best, Ivan

Merhaba Selen,
Portfolyonuzu çok yakından takip ediyorum. Enfes karelerle dolu. Ancak henüz sitede ve kuş fotoğrafçılığında yeni biri olarak size bir türlü yorum yapmaya cesaret edemedim. Çünkü hepsi kusursuz denecek kadar usta işi. Bu enfes fotoğraf da onlardan biri. Yeni karelerinizde görüşmek dileği ile.

A beautiful perspective, with sharp details and focus. Really an amazing portrait of this bird of prey. Great eye contact captured. Thanks for sharing this majestic bird with us.
Best regards
Anna
