Crested Caracara 2
When you view todays photos check the
position of the caracara’s feet. It was being blown off the top of the tree and
lost its footing a couple of times. Eventually it flew to another and I managed
to get a couple of photos before it flew away.
I have photographed the crested
caracara on a few occasions in Bonita Springs, Florida even though they are
fairly rare in that state. On this particular day I spotted a pair of them in a
tree close to the road. They were busy preening their feathers and didn’t notice
me. At least if they did, they weren’t concerned that I was there.
It was fairly windy and the one on the very top of the tree was
having a little difficulty keeping its balance and had to keep adjusting by
opening its wings. I took advantage and made several photos before it flew into
an adjacent tree.
