It is a lightly built hawk found in open wooded country and avoids heavy forest. From its lookout in a leafy branch it swoops down and carries off its prey before the victim is aware of danger. Flight swift; several rapid wing strokes followed by a glide. Usually flies close to ground, shooting upward to alight on a branch.
