Plumbeous Hawk

Cryptoleucopteryx plumbea

The Plumbeous Hawk, Cryptoleucopteryx plumbea, is a bird of prey belonging to the family Accipitridae. Its plumage is a uniform slate grey, which gives rise to its name 'plumbeous', meaning lead-colored.

Distribution

This raptor graces the skies of Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, and Peru, where it soars above the subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests.

Habitat

The Plumbeous Hawk is a denizen of subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. It has also adapted to silvopastures, a testament to its resilience in a changing environment.

Conservation Status

The species is currently classified as Near Threatened by the IUCN. The primary threat facing the Plumbeous Hawk is habitat loss, a challenge that is all too common for forest-dwelling species around the globe.

Behaviour

While much about the behavior of the Plumbeous Hawk remains shrouded in the mists of its forest home, it is known to be a solitary creature, with a preference for the dense canopy where it can survey its domain.

Diet and Feeding

The diet of the Plumbeous Hawk, like many birds of prey, includes a variety of smaller animals, which it hunts with precision and skill.

In crafting this guide, we have endeavored to provide the most accurate and relevant information about the Plumbeous Hawk, a creature as mysterious as it is magnificent. Observing this bird in its natural habitat is a privilege, and we must continue to work towards ensuring its skies remain open and its forests stand tall.

What Our Birders Say

Makes you want to spot birds more
I think this app is fun. It makes you want to spot birds more so I guess in a way it encourages you to get out and about instead of sitting in front of the TV.

Great app for learning Birds
Iā€™ve been using the app for a couple of months and love it....Someone said itā€™s like a real life PokĆ©mon Go for birds. Theyā€™re not far off! Itā€™s something that the family can do that gets you out and about. Well worth downloading no matter your age.

Sense of Community
A great app, which is continually being improved. What really comes through is the passion of those behind the app. The sense of community is brilliant, so much help and support provided to new and/or in experienced birders.

Birding and wellbeing app
Birda is an excellent platform to share your love of Birding and is a great tool of encouragement for a Birding Beginner like me. Birda has a very kind and supportive community of Birding enthusiasts. For me BIRDA is not only a BIRDING but also a WELLBEING App.

Terrific App for Birders
Downloaded Birda around the time my interest in birding was sparked, and it has been a terrific app to help me (1) share my experience, (2) document my sightings, and (3) learn more about birds in general. That said, I also believe Birda is a fantastic app for birders of all experience levels. Great community!

Wonderful App
Birda is my go to app for keeping records of my bird sightings and sessions. It has fantastic information which is great at aiding identification. With all the updates that are coming in the new year, this app is something special.

A great app
Enjoying it immensely and finding it useful too. Recording the different birds and counting them is showing me how the present climate is affecting them all. I've trebled the numbers by planting native hedging. A great app.

Learning Birding with Birda
Iā€™m relatively new to birding as a hobby, and Birda is a great way to keep track off all the species I see. Iā€™m still working on my ID skills, but the app is great for figuring out potential species, and the online community is so friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend Birda to both early and serious birders! šŸ¦

A Friendly Place
I love using the bird app, I have a pretty good knowledge of birds. But I do have some gaps in it, so itā€™s nice to have a safe space to check on a sighting to confirm the species. Itā€™s really enjoyable and I love the badges you can collect. Itā€™s like a real life PokĆ©mon go.

Simply fantastic
I love this app, it puts so much fun into recording the birds Iā€™ve seen and heard while Iā€™m out and about. The interface is user-friendly and suitable for all ages. Itā€™s great to collect badges and to review my ā€œlistsā€.
