The African pygmy falcon is the smallest bird of prey in Africa. Females have chestnut brown backs that distinguish them from males, which have grey backs. Both sexes have white spots on their backs and tail feathers. "Nest pirates," pygmy falcons often use the empty nests of other species to lay their eggs. |
