New records the Rabiblanca eagle (Parabuteo unicinctus) in southwestern Colombia
Abstract
Harris’s Hawk is found from the south of the United States in Texas and Arizona to the north of Argentina. In Colombia, due to the absence of recent records from the middle part of the Cauca River valley this species has been considered extinct, and in the upper Patía River valley this species has been categorized as Vulnerable. The habitat loss is considered the most important reason for this regional extinction. In this document, we present five recent records of this species from the middle part of the Cauca River valley and the upper Patía River valley demonstrating that the species is not extinct from these two regions. Key words: Parabuteo unicinctus, Cauca river valley, upper Patía river valley, Colombia, Distribution
