Hawaiian hawk

Hawaiian hawk

The Hawaiian hawk is a raptor in the genus Buteo endemic to Hawaiʻi, currently restricted to the Big Island. This solitary hawk remains in and defends its territories year round. They nest from March through September, and usually lay only one egg. The female does the majority of sitting during the 38 days of incubation, while the male does the majority of the hunting. After the egg is hatched, the female only allows the male to visit when delivering food to the nest.
