Spotted
The Slaty-backed Forest-Falcon is a shy and infrequently observed raptor of the Amazon rainforest. Its dark plumage and habit of staying within dense foliage make it challenging to spot.
Where to spot
Lowland humid forests, particularly mature rainforest, across parts of the Amazon Basin, including Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia.
How to spot
Primarily identified by its calls, which are a series of rapid, staccato notes. Patience is key; look for a dark, medium-sized falcon perching quietly in the mid-story of dense forest.
When to spot
Daytime, but observations are rare. Best sought at dawn or dusk when forest-falcons are typically more vocal.

While little is known about its specific diet, like other forest-falcons, it is adapted for hunting agile prey, likely birds and small mammals, in the cluttered forest interior.
