  Yes, they have a typical hunting style in low flight over open areas with quick curves and dives. They hunt primarily small mammals, small birds, amphibians, reptiles, grasshoppers. They have as well exceptionally good hearing for diurnal raptors and use it to surprise their prey. Posted 2 years ago
