Aplomado Falcon. (1 Viewer)

A Great Bird to Watch in Brazil: Aplomado Falcon!

About a month ago, I had several of those , in just one trip...I kind of lost count...It was more than 06 (six) sights...Then, two weeks ago, when I started a new tour, doing about the same itinerary I told my guests how "easy" was to see the Aplomado Falcon around...BIG MISTAKE! We didn't see any!!!

Well, I broke a "Holy" Rule in Birding: "Never count on Birds" !

The following day, my guests left Mato Grosso, I had the Aplomado Falcon, for the VERY FIRST TIME, seen from my GARDEN in TOWN!!!

Very Best Regards,

Paulo Boute.

Hi Paulo. What a beautiful falcon this is and a great name too. I know little about them. I gather they are extremely rare in the United States.

Si.
