Why it matters
The African hobby, *Falco cuvierii*, is a small, agile falcon easily recognized in flight by its distinctively pointed wings and slightly forked tail. It is highly valued by observers for its impressive aerial acrobatics, as it frequently hunts insects and small birds while remaining gracefully aloft at twilight.
