Tuve la oportunidad de observar completamente la escena, la Torcaza estaba posada en el piso, este aguilucho la arrebató con una maniobra sorprendente y luego se posó en la palmera para alimentarse de ella. Este registro es interesante para la dieta de esta especie, la cual se basa en insectos por estas latitudes y la caza de aves está escasamente mencionada. Observada con mi hijo.
