Abstract

Gray-bellied Hawk (Accipiter poliogaster) is a diurnal raptor with a distribution range and movements poorly known. A juvenile was recorded in Costa Rica in 2008 and 2009 for in the Caribbean lowlands. In this note we reported the first adult observation for Costa Rica and a new locality. Even though is uncertain how this species of bird was able to arrive to Costa Rica, we discuss possible explanations for that.
