Crested Caracara
Uploaded: January 14, 2010
Though rather regal in appearance, the Crested Caracara happily consumes carrion, and the incongruity of this may strike some people as though they were watching someone in a tuxedo digging through a dumpster. Their preferred habitat is open, lowland countryside, pastures, savannas, river edges, and ranches. They may also be found in some forests and marshes. These birds reside in the southwestern United States and Florida, Central America, and South America. The common name, caracara, is what South Americans called the bird. It has been called Caracara Eagle, King Buzzard, Mexican Eagle, Audubon’s Caracara, and Mexican Buzzard. The caracara is the most terrestrial bird in the falcon group. It spends a great deal of time on the ground and is known for its voracious appetite.
