Common Black-Hawk (Buteogallus anthracinus) and Great Black-Hawk (Buteogallus urubitinga) also occur in Costa Rica. The Mangrove species is somewhat smaller with more rufous and white in the wings and is mostly limited to mangrove swamp areas. This was taken in the dry forest area of Costa Rica along the northern Pacific coast along the Gulf of Nicoya at La Ensenada ranch. They feed mostly on crabs like the one shown which was photographed while on a boat ride in the mangrove swamps along the Gulfo Nicoya.
