Bat Falcon (Falco rufigularis) - 20Aug2022

Even though I have seen this species a couple times now in Central and South America, I do regret never chasing the one that was hanging out in the Lower Rio Grande Valley in Texas.  It would have been so fun to bag one for my ABA list.  This small falcon has a huge range and although it will eat bats, that is just a small percentage of their diets which consist of all kinds of small critters.  This one was photographed somewhere in the Pantanal in Brazil.
