They are pretty common in San Antonio and the Corpus Christi areas. Beautiful birds and good photos.

The Northern Crested Caracara is in the Falcon class.
It is found in Central America, Mexico and very southern Arizona , Texas and parts of Florida.

The Crested Caracara looks like a hawk with its sharp beak and talons, behaves like a vulture, and is technically a large tropical black-and-white falcon. It is instantly recognizable standing tall on long yellow-orange legs with a sharp black cap set against a white neck and yellow-orange face. The Crested Caracara is a bird of open country and reaches only a few states in the southern U.S. It flies low on flat wings, and routinely walks on the ground

Yesterday was the first time I have seen this beauty.

Downloads are best.
Hope you enjoy.

Great shots, but IMHO they are about 1/2 stop under exposed.

We have two nesting pair near here (Space Coast of Florida) but I haven't seen them in a while. I have seen them in plentiful numbers on the ground and fence posts in the Okeechobee area in Central Florida.
