Field Notes
Description:
This bird is the smallest and most colorful falcon. It has a dark head with a white mask, orange breast, dark upper body and white to gray sides.
Habitat:
Open fields and prairie areas
Notes:
Beautiful small falcon that eats insects and slightly larger oraganisms. Thanks to Patrick and Christy for their help. I originally described the bird as a hawk, which it is not.
