About These Birds

Black Caracara

The Black Caracara is a medium-sized, all-black falcon relative of Amazonian and Guianan forests and riverine habitats, with a bare orange-red facial skin and white tail tip. It ranges widely across the Amazon Basin from Venezuela and the Guianas south to Bolivia and Brazil, inhabiting the edges of rivers, lakes, and flooded forests. It feeds on carrion, insects, fruit, and small vertebrates.

African Pygmy-falcon

The African Pygmy-falcon is one of Africa's smallest raptors, with a wingspan of about 23 cm and a weight of around 61 g. It inhabits dry savannas and thornbush, often nesting in the large communal nests of weaver birds, and hunts lizards and large insects.
