We spent the morning of Sunday, January 15, 2012, birding along a small tributary (Tapara Creek) of the Amazon below the main confluence of the Ucayali-Marañón Rivers. Brad caught this Black-collared Hawk, Busarellus nigricollis, just as it was landing. This attractive adult has a white head, black chest band, rufous upper- and underparts, and a short tail. It is typically found near water and has a patchy distribution in Amazonia. The undersides of its toes have spines to aid in grabbing fish, lizards or rodents. Temperatures were in the upper 70's on this humid morning with overcast skies.
