The Monti Sicani are a mountain chain in central-southern Sicily, southern Italy, included between the Agrigento and Palermo. The name also indicates a series of comuni (municipalities) lying in the area.
The territory of the Sicani Mountains offers different habitats to wildlife that are very rich in vertebrates and invertebrates.
Among the birds, there are several species of rare birds of prey such as the Golden Eagle and the Egyptian Capovaccaio (there are here the only breeding sites in Sicily), and others more widespread such as the Peregrine Falcon, the Kestrel, the Barn owl.
