Florida's Road Cleaning Crew....
...either that or Community Service...
State Road 60 is a main east-west artery from Tampa to Vero Beach and runs through some of Florida's prettiest flatlands and also the Kissimmee River Basin. Although its a 2-lane Hwy, with very little shoulders, it gets a tremendous amount of car & truck traffic.
Heading over to Lakeland one early morning on SR 60, I saw a Cara Cara eying a dead armadillo that was in the middle of the east bound lane. Decided to pull off onto the grass shoulder about 75 yds away and try and capture a few photos in between numerous passing cars and big rigs. The Cara Cara was also watching the cars and made his move when there was a slight lull in the traffic. He would eat for a while and when cars were approaching, he would fly to a fence post. Even after a meal, there was no peace to enjoy it since a Red-Wing Blackbird would harass him to no end.....Much better in download, Cheers.

Nice sequence of a very cooperative Caracara. You obviously weren’t the priority. 👍

Thanks greyfox, correct...it was apparently a young bird and his priority was the carrion and not getting hit by traffic....Cheers
Beautiful sequence.
Everything is properly balanced.
I particularly like the second shot. Great job.
Very nice series! IMO, based on the sharpness and clarity of the downloads, a tighter crop would increase impact of the photos in presentation.
Great captures, nicely rendered. Good eye! Please stay well and keep on sharing the good work.
You have submitted beautiful photos. I did not know those birds were even in America. Well done.
