error] The Gundlach's hawk (Astur gundlachi) is a species of bird of prey in the family Accipitridae.

The common name and Latin binomial commemorate the German-Cuban ornithologist Juan Cristobal Gundlach (1810–1896).

The adult hawk has a dark bluish-gray upper body and wings, with a black head.

Immature hawks are mostly brown on the top and paler on the bottom, but with dark streaking down the body.

[5] Gundlach's hawks has two main calls the kek and the "squeal" which is usually associated with species of its type, Astur.

Typically, Gundlach's hawk nests high up in trees in the forest, such as pines, at about an altitude of 19–25 metres (62–82 ft).

The stabilization of the population may be attributed to conservation efforts bringing awareness to the hawk and its struggles.

In addition to the loss of habitat the hawk also faces persecution from farmers because of its liking for poultry.
