The Common Black Hawk exhibits a versatile diet, encompassing fish, reptiles, small mammals, and invertebrates. This adaptable predator employs various hunting techniques, including perching over shallow water bodies and swooping down on prey. They are known to perch on trees or prominent rocks to gain a vantage point over water, occasionally wading to herd prey into shallower waters. Their diet consists of a range of creatures like grasshoppers, ants, beetles, waterbugs, fish, amphibians, reptiles, and even small birds.
