The Bat Falcon (Falco rufigularis) (In Spanish: Halcon Murcielaguero) this one seen besides the Summit Ponds in Panama. Bat Falcons perch conspicuously on high open snags, from which they launch aerial attacks on their prey. They hunt bats, birds and large insects such as dragonflies. The smaller male takes more insects, and the female more birds and bats. The flight is direct and powerful.
