The Black Hawk-Eagle (Spizaetus tyrannus), also known as the Tyrant Hawk-Eagle, is a species of eagle found from central Mexico to eastern Peru, the south of Brazil, and far northern Argentina. Its preferred habitats include humid and moist forests close to rivers, and several types of woodland. It is uncommon to fairly common throughout most of its range. Its closest relative is the Ornate Hawk-Eagle, which is similar in size, appearance and behavior but lives at lower elevations.
