<jats:p>Knowledge about the breeding biology of the Tiny Hawk (Accipiter superciliosus) is scarce. Here we describe the discovery of two nests in the rainforest of eastern Peru. The first nest was detected during the incubation period (September 2018) at a height of 14 m above the ground on a branch bifurcation in a 20 m tall unidentified tree, at 525 m a. s. l. The second nest was detected during the fledging period (October 2020) and was located 16 m from the ground on the bifurcation of branches of a 20 m tall and 0.89 m DBH Flame tree (Erythrina velutina), at 1.070 m a. s. l. That nest had been built and occupied during the previous season by a pair of Plumbeous Kite (Ictinia plumbea). Both nests were located within remnants of secondary forest surrounded by currently or previously cultivated land. Observations are presented on the feeding behavior and nest defense.</jats:p>
