Message: <blockquote data-quote="tomjenner" data-source="post: 1016507" data-attributes="member: 8453">Rasmus is absolutely right. To be honest, I looked at the photo and I scrolled down to confirm Collared Forest-Falcon. It was only when I reached Rasmus's mention of Bicolored Hawk that I realised my mistake (which is pretty bad considering that I have been studying an Accipiter species for the past 7 years). A photo of a Collared Forest-Falcon would have been nice enough, but a Bicolored Hawk is a major rarity and a really great bird to see, let along photograph so well. I have been birding actively in Central America for the past 8 years and I have only ever seen one. I have a photo database of birds of Northern Central America on my website and there is a big gap where there should be a photo of this species.  Derek, would it be cheeky if I asked if I can have a copy to use on my website?Tom</blockquote>
