The hawk eagle (Aquila fasciata), also known as Bonelli's eagle, is a medium-sized bird of prey known for its powerful build and impressive hunting skills. It is mainly found in the Mediterranean region, including Spain, and extends its habitat to parts of Asia and Africa. This eagle usually lives in mountainous or rocky areas where it can catch its prey, such as rabbits, birds and other medium-sized mammals.
The hawk eagle has a striking appearance: a dark brown back, a light belly with dark stripes, and a short tail that distinguishes it from other eagles. Its wings are broad and powerful, and in flight it displays an elegant but purposeful posture. It is known as a top predator in its habitat and plays a crucial role in the ecosystem.
Unfortunately, the hawk eagle faces threats such as habitat loss, illegal hunting and conflicts with human activities. Nevertheless, he remains a symbol of strength and freedom in nature.
