The Aplomado Falcon is a slender, medium-sized falcon weighing around 328 grams with a wingspan of about 49 cm, found from the southwestern United States through South America. It hunts birds and insects in open grasslands, savannas, and marshes, often cooperating with its mate to flush and pursue prey. Its striking black-and-white facial pattern and rufous breast band make it one of the most elegant falcons of the Americas.
