Photo made by George Hageman in Berg en Dal, Suriname in
December 2009.
This bird of prey is a common sight in the interior of Suriname.
It flies low over the treetops or high in the air like a very big
swallow, sometimes in small groups. They hunt for large insects
but Penard also found little birds in their stomach. They breed
in Suriname, and are seen all year. Numbers seen are highest in
February-March, but about the migration of these kites nothing
much is yet known.
