They are a medium distance migrant in the upper part of their range during the winter and resident in the rest of their range.
Their diet consist of small animals, amplibians and reptiles like mice, frogs and snakes. The also eat birds and large insects.
They soar with their wingtips pushed slightly forward like they are reaching.
They build a thick nest in the main crotch of a large tree.
