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.
