The Cuban black hawk (''Buteogallus gundlachii'') is a bird of prey in the family Accipitridae, which also includes the eagles, hawks and Old World vultures. Measuring , this hawk is mainly dark brown verging on black. A lighter greyish or whitish patch may be present on the face between the bill and the eye. White patches at the base of the primary flight feathers are visible in flight. The tail is striped with wide black and white bands. The legs are yellow and the bill is yellow tipped in black.〔 The Cuban black hawk feeds mainly on crabs and small birds.〔 It is endemic to the island of Cuba, where it is restricted to coastal swamps and mangroves. It has traditionally been considered a subspecies of the common black hawk (''B. anthracinus''), but recent evidence suggests it should be treated as a separate species.〔 Consequently, the AOU formally acknowledged it as a species in 2007. Its status was first evaluated for the IUCN Red List in 2008, being listed as near threatened.〔〔 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cuban black hawk」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
