At the end of 2021 a Bat Falcon was recorded in the United States for the first time in history. This bird has attracted many visitors and has been making headlines recently. Learn more about where it's supposed to be and what it's like to find one in its native range. I also talk with Justin LeClaire of the Costal Bend Bays & Estuaries Program about what it was like to see this individual Bat Falcon in Texas, and highlight my own experience with Bat Falcons in Costa Rica.
