“…Hobbies consist of small and swift aerial predators that tend to take small birds and insects in flight (Bijlsma & Brink, 2005;Parr, 1985;Probst, Nemeschkal, McGrady, Tucakov, & Szép, 2011;Rosen, Hedenström, Badami, Spina, & Åkesson, 1999). Kestrels, however, tend to hover or perch over grasslands and take small vertebrates from the ground (Bildstein & Collopy, 1987;Tella, Forero, Hiraldo, & Donázar, 1998). Among the large and mid-sized falcons, peregrine falcons specialize on other birds, which they usually take with swoops and dives in flight (Cresswell, 1996;Dekker, 1988;Jenkins, 2000;Tucker, Tucker, Akers, & Enderson, 2000), whereas Hierofalco and other member of the clade tend to consume a wider variety of prey that are either taken on the ground or in level-pursuit aerial flights (Haak, 1982;Poole & Boag, 1988;White & Weeden, 1966).…”
