About These Birds
Bat Falcon
The Bat Falcon is a compact, fast-flying falcon found from Mexico through Central and South America to Argentina. It has slate-black upperparts, a rufous breast and belly, and a distinctive white throat patch. As its name suggests, it specializes in hunting bats at dusk, as well as swifts, swallows, and large insects caught in aerial pursuit.
