The laughing calls of this Laughing Falcon gave away it’s location on a back woods trail in Santa Rosa National Park. The Laughing Falcon is a spectacular and distinctive raptor of tropical lowlands, often seen perched on prominent bare snags, from which it hunts for snakes.
Occurs in forest and open country with scattered trees. Note the creamy head and underparts with a broad black "bandit mask." Does not soar, and flies with hurried, stiff wingbeats, when rusty patches show on the wings. eBird
