Collared Forest-Falcon (Micrastur semitorquatus) This was a real treat. I was prowling Tapir Valley when I noticed something fairly large moving around in the vegetation on the ground. Collared Forest-Falcons are kind of strange hunters, as they'll often walk along the ground looking for prey. This bird was not very happy with my presence, and it took its squirrel to heavier cover to enjoy in peace.
