This Falcon is like the one we watched on the Panama Canal cam years ago! Wonder if they are still around?

I think that was a Bat Falcon seen at the Panama Canal. Someone on BCAW saw it there in June and posted a pic of it.

Cute! I think we had determined that the smiley... :pfalcon: ...might actually be a bat falcon because of the orange legs...

I enjoy that webcam and had thought the bat falcon from earlier years was gone, but when I saw it, I thought I'd better save the pic till I could figure out how to send it on. It's a real beauty of a falcon. It was on the cam for a very long time. I haven't seen it since then.

Thanks, I'm going to remember to check it out in the am's! Always liked this cam!
