Spotted
The Lined Forest-Falcon is a small to medium-sized raptor found across the Amazon Basin, known for its cryptic plumage and reliance on vocalizations for communication within its dense forest habitat.
Where to spot
Humid lowland rainforests throughout the Amazon Basin and extending into parts of the Guianas, typically staying within dense forest.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive, rhythmic calls, often described as a series of low hoots. Spotting it requires patience; look for a dark-eyed falcon with fine barring on its underparts, perched quietly in the forest mid-story.
When to spot
Active during the day, often more vocal during early morning and late afternoon. Observable year-round in its resident range.
This species is highly adept at navigating the tangled understory of rainforests, using its short, rounded wings and long tail for maneuverability in tight spaces.
