Common Black Hawk

Buteogallus anthracinus

Overview

The Osa Peninsula, Corcovado and Tortuguero are among six atlas places where the Common Black Hawk is recorded. Records concentrate most in Costa Rica, the United States and Mexico, though they also gather in Panama and Belize. The atlas holds about 139,000 open records from 14 countries, and the map follows where these records concentrate.

Records of Buteogallus anthracinus span the year, appearing in every month.

Each bar is the share of its 200 month-dated grid cells with records in that month.

Recorded in and around these atlas places

These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Common Black Hawk as much as where it lives. The atlas keeps a species' 200 best-recorded grid cells, so the map shows where records concentrate rather than its whole range. Cells are up to 25 km across, and every location is generalised to its cell.
