halcón
falcon ; hawk.
This article surveys hunting themes incorporated into coats of arms, including prey animals, such as stags, wolves, bears, and foxes; hounds and falcons; and hunting equipment such as horns, bows and arrows, and spears.
This suite of defensive adaptations has enabled hawks to forage and behave with near impunity virtually free from predation.
