Spizaetus ornatus (Daudin, 1800) Figure 5C

We recorded the species in Area A, associated with forest or natural border areas. We also made 1 record in Area B. The species was identified mostly by voice. Sometimes the identification was visual, by its short, rounded wings and exceptionally long tail, legs and claws. Heavily plumed legs and a crest frequently erect at the top of the head ( Sick 1997).
