Field Notes

Description:

As best as I can tell it's a forest falcon of the genus Micrastur. But it doesn't seem to match any of the images of any particular species very well. Maybe I'm way off and it's some other sort of raptor.

Habitat:

Canopy of a strip of forest along a creek through an orange plantation.
