Ecology

They fly from Honshu to Kyushu as summer birds. After breeding, they start doing something in the fall, and form large flocks in the Nansei Islands, which they pass through. They prey on small animals and insects.

Habitat

Ishigaki Island

I found Grey-streaked Buzzards twice while looking for birds on my moped around Ishigaki Island.

The first time was in the afternoon forest near dusk, when the female was perched on a side branch. The first time, it was perched on top of a tree in an open area.
