New Zealand Falcon
Falco novaeseelandiae
The New Zealand falcon or kārearea (Falco novaeseelandiae) is New Zealand's only falcon and the only remaining diurnal bird of prey endemic to New Zealand. Other common names for the bird are bush hawk and sparrow hawk. It is frequently mistaken for the larger and more common swamp harrier. The kārearea is the country’s most threatened bird of prey with only around 3000-5000 breeding pairs remaining.
