Spotted
The Collared Forest-Falcon is a widespread and vocal raptor inhabiting dense forests of the Neotropics. Known for its ambush hunting style, it is more often heard than seen.
Where to spot
Dense humid and semi-deciduous forests from Mexico through Central America and across most of tropical South America. Often found near forest edges.
How to spot
Listen intently for its distinctive, loud, and repetitive hooting calls (e.g., 'aw-HAW, aw-HAW'). Look for it perched silently within the forest understory or canopy, waiting to ambush prey. Its long tail and dark plumage with a pale collar (in adults) are key features.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, but most vocal at dawn and dusk. Observable year-round in its resident range.

This forest-falcon is highly skilled at navigating dense forest and is one of the few raptors that regularly vocalizes while hunting, using its calls to flush prey.
