Amur Falcon

Falco amurensis

Least Concern

The Amur Falcon is a falconid raptor of northeastern Asian breeding areas and southern African wintering grounds. It hunts from fast flight or exposed perches, taking birds, insects, bats, or small mammals. Strong pointed wings, keen eyesight, and bold territorial behavior help it exploit cliffs, trees, grasslands, farms, wetlands, or coastlines depending on the species.
