Buteo solitarius (Hawaiian Hawk; Lo)

Wikipedia Abstract

The Hawaiian Hawk or ʻIo, Buteo solitarius, is a raptor of the Buteo genus endemic to Hawaiʻi. Buteos tend to be easily recognized by their bulky bodies relative to their overall length and wingspan. The ʻIo is the only hawk that is native to Hawaiʻi, and fossil evidence indicates that it inhabited the island of Hawaiʻi, Molokaʻi, Oʻahu, and Kauaʻi at one time.
