Gundlach's Hawk(Accipiter gundlachi)

Founded in 1860 by Lawrence, the Gundlach's Hawk can grow to 1'5"-1'8". It's said to be a medium-sized, stocky forest raptor. Adults have dark blue-grey upper parts with a blackish cap and whitish underparts. It's population is at some 300-400 birds and is decreasing due to habitat loss, logging activities, and human persecution, because it preys on the local farms chickens.
