Tiny Hawk - Microspizias superciliosus

Épervier nain

Tiny Hawk — The Tiny Hawk is one of the smallest of the Accipiters, and ranges from
Nicaragua south to Bolivia, Paraguay and northern Argentina. My little
portrait shows the northern form, from Costa Rica. Southern birds are
assigned the nominate race.

They only weigh from about 75 grams (male) to 134 grams (female). While
little is known about their diet, it seems they specialize on eating
hummingbirds!
