The Hawaiian Hawk or ‘Io, Buteo solitarius, is a raptor of the Buteo genus endemic to Hawai‘i. Buteos tend to be easily recognized by their bulky bodies relative to their overall length and wingspan. The ‘Io is the only hawk that is native to Hawai‘i, and fossil evidence indicates that it inhabited the island of Hawai‘i, Moloka‘i, O‘ahu, and Kaua‘i at one time. Today, it is only known to breed on the Big Island in stands of native ‘ohi‘a lehua (Metrosideros polymorpha) trees. The species is protected as an endangered species in the United States. However, the IUCN classifies the species as Near Threatened.
