Herpetotheres cachinnans
This falcon feeds entirely on snakes (Ophiophagy) catching many in the early mornings before they hide.
Perches high in trees watching for snakes, its food, in the Amazon rainforest of SE Ecuador.
I love listening to them calling, usually early mornings, but can be heard all day long. My interest is more in herpetology, but these hawks, being snake-eaters, almost quality.
