Plumbeous Forest Falcon (Micrastur plumbeus)
About the Plumbeous Forest Falcon
The plumbeous forest-falcon (Micrastur plumbeus) is a bird of prey in the family Falconidae only found in the Chocó region in Colombia and Ecuador. This rare bird has not been often spotted, which makes its study complicated. For a long time, it was considered to be part of the lined forest-falcons but it now known to be a species of its own. It is currently considered a vulnerable species because of the precarity of its habitat that is threatened by deforestation.
