Red-tailed Hawk

Buteo jamaicensis

 

This is a fairly common resident in northern Central America, mainly in Central Highlands. Although never very common, they are quite conspicuous and I have seen them at most of the highland sites that I have visited in the region. They occasionally come down to lower altitudes and I have seen them at sea level at El Jicarito in southern Honduras.
