The pygmy falcon is the smallest Tanzanian falcon at 18-20 cm. The females have rust-colored backs, while the males have grey backs, as in the image above taken in Tarangire NP in May 2010. Roll your cursor over the enlargement to see a second image taken in the Serengeti in February 2008, courtesy of Karine Van der Vurst. Click here to see a male feeding an adult female. |
