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.
American Kestrel
The American Kestrel is North America's smallest falcon, weighing about 119 g with a 36.5 cm wingspan, with strikingly patterned rufous and slate-blue plumage. It hovers over open fields and roadsides to spot grasshoppers, small rodents, and lizards before diving to strike.
