Description
The black hawk-eagle is 58–70 cm (23–28 in) long and weighs about 900–1,300 grams (2-2.9 lbs). It has black plumage with varying patterns on its wings and body, and white speckling in places. It has barred wings, slightly elliptical in shape, and a long, narrow tail which is rarely fanned. The four grey bars on the tail are distinctive to the black hawk-eagle, as is the white line seen slightly above the bird's eye. While flying, the broadness and shortness of the wings become apparent. While in flight, the bird's tail is typically kept closed.

Feeding Habits
Black Hawk-eagle consumes a diverse diet, including birds, mammals like squirrels and small monkeys, bats, nocturnal marsupials, reptiles such as iguanas and snakes. It exhibits skilled hunting with specific foraging techniques and may have dietary preferences unique to its hunting abilities.
Habitat
Black Hawk-eagle typically resides in tropical forest habitats within broad lowland regions. This species is often associated with vast areas of primary forests but can also be found in slightly more open forested environments compared to its relative, the Ornate Hawk-Eagle. These habitats are characterized by a mix of dense canopy cover and some degree of understory openness. Black Hawk-eagle is adapted to exploit the diverse structure of these tropical ecosystems.
