Behavior, diet, and breeding biology of double-toothed kites at a Guatemalan lowland site
Article Abstract:
Double-toothed Kites were studied in Tikal National Park in Peten, Guatemala, documenting behaviour and diet during incubation and nestling. Males did not incubate or brood but typically provided most of the prey during incubation and early nestling. The kites hunted from perches below and within the closed canopy of the forest and most prey were taken from vegetation, but some were captured in flight.

Reproductive success of American Kestrels: the role of prey abundance and weather
Article Abstract:
Research investigating the effects of the variations in availability of small mammals on the provisioning of American Kestrel chicks is presented. Prey provisioning rates are observed, as well as the effect of food supply variations on breeding habits.
