Crested caracara

YEA!! I brought my little point and shoot along to do some errands, and decided to drive by the road where I had seen 3 Crested Caracaras perched in a tree on a rainy day. Ta-dah!! This afternoon there were 2 in the field. This one is an adult, see how the throat is solid white?



























This one is a juvenile, you can see the throat has streaks on it. Unfortunately it was really far away... and in a restricted field so I couldn't get closer. These birds live pretty much only along the Texas coast, Mexico, and a few in Florida.
