Galapagos Hawk, Island - a photo on Flickriver

            The Galapagos Hawk is the only diurnal bird of prey on the Galapagos Islands.
 
Galapagos hawk is a large, dark coloured hawk with broad wings, and a broad tail. Adults are sooty brownish-black in colour with a grey tail barred with darker stripes. The legs and skin at the base of the beak are yellow and the bill is greyish black. Immature birds have blackish-brown upperparts, mottled with buff and white; the tail is off-white with wavy dark bars and their underparts are buff-coloured with a white throat flecked with blackish-brown spots. Males are noticeably smaller than females.
