Spot-winged Falconet

The Spot-winged Falconet is a species of bird of prey in the Falconidae family. It is monotypic within the genus Spiziapteryx. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay, and Uruguay. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests and subtropical or tropical dry shrubland.

The Spot-winged Falconet is classified as Least Concern. Does not qualify for a more at risk category. Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.

The Spot-winged Falconet uses the Monk Para- keet's nests for roosting in winter and for breeding in summer (November-December). We have ob- served small and medium-sized parakeet nests (of less than 0.80 m in diameter and with up to three holes) occupied by the falconet. (Big nests may reach 1.50 m and have 15 holes.) In most cases, falconets pre- ferred nests with only one entrance hole. Nests with more than three entrance holes were not used, al- though there were many of this size in the area. More
