Crested Caracara





Crested Caracara
 
I am continuing with the Birds Theme again today!
 
The caracara is a large eagle that ranges from the southern US states to South America.  The Cornell Lab of Ornithology describes it as a “tropical falcon version of a vulture”.  http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Crested_Caracara/id
 
They are large birds and I was lucky to photograph a couple during my visits to Southwest Florida.
 

 
Feel free to share today's photos with family and friends.
