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.
