BROAD-WINGED HAWK Buteo platypterus

Nearctic migrant. Observed by DP at the edge of HFR on 9 November 2017 (WA2792378; Fig. 2A ). Only the second record in Acre ( Guilherme 2016). Stot et al. (1992) reported the species’ occurrence in neighbouring Rondônia between October and March. This indicates that the record at HFR was within its overwintering period in south-west Amazonia .
