Slaty-backed Forest-Falcon in Pipeline Road, Panama

Forest falcons of the genus Micrastur are similar to Accipiter raptors, in terms of hunting behavior and appearance. They are more often heard than seen, so when we had the opportunity to film a very obliging individual, that kept calling despite of our presence, we thought it was worth sharing with everyone!  For day trips in Panama send us an email to info@ and check out our website:
