What Raptor Did I see?

I saw some kind of raptors taking mexican free-tailed bats at dusk, as the bats left their quarters under a bridge, in central California, in the Central Valley, just east of the delta area. It was getting dark so I didn't get a good look at them. Apparently they knew what they were doing. They showed up to wait, just a few minutes before the bats emerged.

What were they, most likely? Not likely bat falcons, if I understand this article correctly.

This should be mentioned in the wikipedia bats article, too. 68.127.233.221 (talk) 06:17, 7 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just spotted for the first time in US.

Worth mentioning first appearance in the US? (Brownsville Texas) 173.18.68.252 (talk) 00:38, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
