	Falcons - adrenaline junkies of the bird world - wildwatch.com
		Closely related to the falcons, and belonging, in fact, to the same genus, are the kestrels and hobbies.
		Hobbies are small falcons which capture most of their prey on the wing, but feed as much on winged termites as they do on small birds and bats.
		Falcons, kestrels and hobbies do not build nests of any kind, but lay their eggs in the old stick nests of other birds (particularly those of crows, eagles and storks), on bare rocky ledges, in crevices, or in tree holes.

	Red-footed Falcon
		The key feature used to separate adult male (Western) Red-footed Falcon (Falco vespertinus) from the closely related Amur Falcon (Falco amurensis) is the color of the underwing coverts.
		Many 1st summer male Red-footed Falcons are farther along in their molt by this date, and have the underwing coverts mostly gray, but this is not the case here, and the underwing coverts are still almost entirely juvenal feathers.
		Juvenile male Red-footed Falcons usually have the barring on the underwing coverts reddish brown, while on Amur the barring is usually flish.

	Falcon
		The Falcon is a twin channel, 50 watts per channel, wide band jammer.
		Falcon uses very sophisticated high speed DDS (Direct Digital Synthesis) technology to provide a fully programmable frequency agile source.
		Falcon jammers are designed to be used with a range of other ECs equipment, including other Falcon jammers, without generating mutual interference or odd inter-modulation effects.

	Amur Falcon
		The Amur Falcon Falco amurensis is a small raptor of the falcon family.
		Also there may be some superficial resemblance to Sooty Falcon and Grey Kestrel, but those two species both have yellow feet and cere.
		Separating male Amur and Red-footed is best done by the white underwing coverts on Amur, whereas the underwing of Red-footed Falcon is uniformly grey.

	Red-footed Falcon - August 14, 2004
		Alongside about 500 other birders throughout the day, we were not disappointed, as the first-year male falcon was present as usual upon arrival and put on quite a show for the next two and a half hours.
		Finally, the darkness of the tail in comparison to the gray color of the back is also an indication of red-footed falcon.
		In the similar Amur falcon, the tail and the back are more uniformily colored.

	The Red Footed Falcon in Sicily - Best of Sicily Magazine
		Red-footed falcons prefer frogs and even small birds, but in winter consume larger grasshoppers and any large insects found in swarms, especially in Africa where they are usually to be found during that season.
		Though avoiding inhabited areas, the fearless falcons are distinguished for their shrill call and seeming affinity for people.
		The red-footed falcon's Latin name "vespertinus," means "evening" and also "western." Here in Sicily, a migratory bird's bridge between Europe and Asia, sightings are reserved for those hardy, dedicated birdwatchers with enough tenacity to climb the Peloritan peaks in search of the perfect opportunity.

	Virtual Seychelles - News
		To be exact, the Amur Falcon, a bird a little similar to our very own Katiti, is appearing in Seychelles with increasing regularity and sometimes in fairly large numbers.
		It is perhaps not surprising that Amur Falcons reach Seychelles.
		Apart from the falcons on Bird and North, no doubt there are more birds out there too, perhaps on Mahe, Praslin, Denis, Desroches and Alphonse, where they have been seen in the past hunting along the edge of the airstrips.

		Ray Wilson photographed this ringed Amur Falcon in Goa, in India on a trip from 3-18 December 2004.
		The Amur Falcon is one of the raptors that flies the longest distance between summer breeding grounds in Mongolia and China and wintering grounds in southern Africa.
		Amur Falcons have a much smaller wintering range than Lesser Kestrels, so I would expect the Amur Falcon number to be as high as the Lesser Kestrel number.

	Birding World - An Amur Falcon in France, North Yorkshire and Dumfries & Galloway - a belated first for the Western ...
		About an adult male Amur Falcon [Falco amurensis] shot by a gamekeeper in Dumfries & Galloway in September 1984.
		The bird had initially been brought to a rehabilitation centre in SW France in May 1984, where it was identified and ringed as a Red-footed Falcon.
		Only recently, when the author saw a photo of the dead bird from Dumfries & Galloway, was it correctly identified as an Amur Falcon - if eventually accepted, the first first for the Western Palearctic.

		Long have I yearned to enter the Amur migration movement.
		Utterly brilliant and now so very noisy, the Blue-cheeks slalom round us – rushing skyward; calling forth the sun as only a Merops may. The vanguard is already weaving and darting amongst the last few, slightly struggling, Amur Falcons.
		And in this moment, above all these living beings, a celestial whiteness thins to star's egg blue, and the sun's energy pierces the cloying murk of this perfect desert storm.

	HKBWS BBS 香港觀鳥會新聞組 - Amur Falcon?
		I think this is an Amur Falcon female?, but I'm not familiar with the species.
		Shape/proportions and tail action look good for Amur - I think it is much more common for Amur and Red-footed to do that kind of thing in my experience.
		What little we can see of underparts looks good, but it is distant and, as you say, we just can't see anything of the essentially diagnostic underwings.

		Lying 280 kilometres east of Beijing, Beidaihe is on the edge of the Bay of Bohai, the northernmost extent of the East China Sea.
		Several flyways converge in the area, linking winter haunts in southern China, Australia, Thailand and even — for Amur Falcon — south-east Africa, and breeding grounds ranging from north-east China to arctic Russia.
		Though the resort has mushroomed since my first visit, the estuaries remain, along with wooded hills and gullies, coastal plantations, and two areas of freshwater marsh.
