A bat falcon has been spotted for the first time in the U.S., the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said.
The bird was observed in December at the Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge in South Texas. The Fish and Wildlife Service shared photos of it on its Facebook page just this week.postThe bird, which usually weighs 4.8 to 8.5 ounces, typically breeds in Mexico, as well as Central and South America, according to the refuge.
The one observed there is thought to be a juvenile because of its “buff- throat and bars,” the refuge said in its own“Judging by the thickness of the tarsus and beak,” it appears to be a male, the refuge added.

Actually thought I was about to see a half bat/half falcon smh😂
Because he's the bird Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now, so we'll hunt him. Because he can take it, because he's not a hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector, a Bat Falcon.

Probably because of declining Eagle numbers due to lead poisoning.
