Falco rufigularis

During our time in the Pantanal last month we were told by a ranch owner that there was a raptor nest in one of the trees along the entrance road to his property. Almost as if it were on cue as we approached the tree this male Bat Falcon (the small one) came flying up with most of a bird and landed next to the very excited female who he handed his prize to as we watched.
