Creasted Caracara's have young...Viera Wetlands field training.
I've been watching these two Caracara's for a while. I suspected they had babies. This week I got to met the kids. It's great this threaten species has reproduced. It was a real treat to watch the parent giving them field training. The Caracara has such powerful legs that it also hunts on the ground.
Hope you enjoy this. Comments appreciated.
Parent #1 supervising the two kids.
Parent #2 watching nearby.

Speading those wings.
