Description
The Galapagos Hawk is endemic to the Galapagos and is similar to the red tailed hook that can be found in North America. There are supposed to be about 300 individuals in the archipelago, so they are highly endangered, mainly because of introduced species. Nests are constructed in low branches, on an outcrop of larva or on the ground from sticks, and are lined with grass, bark, leaves and other available soft materials.
