Field Notes

Description:

Is a raptor that curiously we found in the gardens of a butterfly nursery in Guatemala, close to Antigua. I am not entirely sure of the ID but these were the closest I could find.

El adulto mide de 34 a 45 cm, pesa de 265 a 560 g y una envergadura alar de 8 a 10 dm. Como en la mayoría de las rapaces, la hembra es ligeramente más grande que el macho.

Habitat:

Tropical rain forest Central America.

Notes:

Pic making shared between my friend Victor and I.
