Grey Falcon
Falco hypoleucos Gould, 1841
Falconidae — Caracaras, Falcons
Grey Falcon, Falco hypoleucos, is a falcon of inland Australia in the family Falconidae. It was described by Gould in 1841 and breeds across the arid interior of Australasia, where it is usually tied to dry, open country. The species is mainly grey above and white below, with darker flight feather tips and a yellow cere, while young birds are darker. It is uncommon across its range and is regarded as one of the rarest falcons in the world, with breeding now taking place in the more arid parts of its distribution.
