Falconidae

Falco tinnunculus (VAG) : occurs in Europe, Africa and Asia ( Orta, 1994). Only one individual was recorded in the Saint Peter and Saint Paul Archipelago in Brazil, which was the first record for Brazil and for South America and the third one for the New World ( Bencke et al., 2005).

Falco columbarius (VAG) :breeds in the Arctic and migrates to lower latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere during boreal winter ( White et al., 1994). In Brazil, there are few records of this species and all for the North region ( Grantsau, 2010) in Jaú National Park/AM ( Borges et al., 2001) and in Roraima (RR), PA, Tocantins (TO) and AC (WikiAves, 2016).

Falco aesalon (VAG) : occurs in northern Eurasia from Faroe Islands east to central Siberia. When migrating, it moves south to the Mediterranean, northern Africa, Persian Gulf, Iraq, Iran, China, Japan and Korea, and there also recent documented records for Bangladesh ( White et al., 2016). The first and only known record for South America is of a female captured on a ship on the coast of BA in 1963 ( Baars-Klinkenberg & Wattel, 1964).
