The Black-chested Buzzard-Eagle is in the same genus as the White-tailed Hawk and Variable Hawk. This large South American hawk patrols open areas with low shrubs for small mammalian prey. We saw many in the Paramo habitat in high elevation Colombia where we had the one photographed here. It looks like it has a really short tail but actually its that the wings are very broad and extend to where the tail ends.
