Chris Merkord Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Amur Falcon. The Morung Express One of the most mysterious passage migrants of India is the beautiful Amur Falcon (Falco amurensis).

Bernd Meyburg and his team has presented the first ever satellite tracking data for Amur Falcons at two conferences, one in the East (Asian Raptor Research and Conservation Network conference, Mongolia) and one in South Africa (Birds of Prey Programme Conference, Kimberley).
