摘要: This cycle differs from the known situation in rural Bat Hawks which lay annually mainly during September and October. These probably take advantage of easily-caught pregnant female bats September/October order to attain breeding condition, whereas fledgling recently independent but naive juvenile January/February. The relative dearth areas outside this period may account for regular annual at time greatest prey availability.
