The Common Black Hawk is a breeding bird in the warmer parts of the Americas, from the Southwestern United States through Central America to Venezuela, Peru, Trinidad and the Lesser Antilles.

The Common Black-Hawk is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.

Not surprisingly given their name, Common Black-hawks were the most common hawks I saw along the Pacific coast of Costa Rica. They were almost always perched in the same large trees near the ocean as the numerous Black Vultures (Coragyps atratus). There are a couple of other black hawks similar to Common Black-hawks found in Costa Rica. The Mangrove Black-hawk (Buteogallus subtilis) has short, rounded wings and is found in mangrove forests.

After learning that the Common Black-Hawk which had been seen last winter, and occasionally this winter, at Lake Lincoln in Stockton had been seen by David Yee at nearby North Lake yesterday, I decided to visit this area in hopes of seeing the bird. North Lake is about a quarter mile north of Lake Lincoln. More

The Common Black-Hawk is a bird of prey, and is related to eagles, hawks and vultures. Breeding grounds of the species are located throughout the Americas, including the southwestern United States, Central America, Venezuela, Peru, Trinidad and the Lesser Antilles. The Common Black-Hawk is a coastal bird and typically a resident all year long, though some migratory populations exist. These populations fly south to northwestern Mexico and Arizona in the winter months. More

The Common Black-Hawk is the most northerly member of its genus, with its breeding range extending well into the southwest United States. This northern breeding population is migratory, but the species is resident elsewhere, from northern Mexico south through Central America and northern South America. It also occurs on Cuba. In arid portions of its range it favors riparian corridors but generally in tropical and lower subtropical zones can be found in a variety of forested or open landscapes. More

There are records for Common Black-Hawk (as well as possibly what would have been the Cuban subspecies at the time and their congener, Great Black-Hawk, B. urubitinga), mostly from southeast Florida and the Keys during the 1970's through the 2000's, but the origin of these birds is uncertain and as of 2009 neither of these three species appear on the official Florida Checklist.

smaller birds, a Common Black-Hawk landed on a perch right in front of me. The white sky background did not lend itself to the images (I would have preferred a blue sky background) but still, the shots are interesting. These images were taken with a Canon EOS 1D Mark II and EF 500mm F/5 L IS lens. On the same property in Mexico as the above shots, we erected a 35 foot tall scaffold blind on a Common Black-Hawk nest. More
