First cliff-nesting record for the Rufous-tailed Hawk (Buteo ventralis) in southern Chile

Abstract

The Rufous-tailed Hawk (Buteo ventralis) is an endemic species of the temperate austral forest. Until now, the only known nesting substrate for this species were large trees. In October 2012, we found a Rufous-tailed Hawk pair nesting on a cliff near Curacautín, La Araucanía region, southern Chile. Our observation opposes the previously published information on the subject and it suggests that the Rufous-tailed Hawk can be less restrictive in his nesting habits.
