Details
Potential first Chilean record? First spotted being chased by a Harris’ Hawk through non-native conifers across back end of ponds. After a brief flight across the pond a few minutes later, it popped up into cattails and reeds where it stood for awhile until walking into the marsh and never appearing again. This was around 8pm.
Large, dark, slaty-black raptor with large white tail base and thick black tail band (forming a clear black/white tail) seen in flight and my immediate reaction was Great Black Hawk do to size, structure, and plumage. When standing on ground amongst short wetland vegetation, it was clear the tarsi were quite long and yellowish. I am familiar with the species from many other Central and South American locations. I did not know until a few minutes later that they don’t occur in Chile!
Separation from Common Black Hawk very difficult of course. Very interested to hear what others have to say in regards to the ID.
eBird, Merlin, and Birds of Chile by Jaramillo (Beadle and Burke) were looked at.
