Description
Immature male Crested Caracara mating with adult female. I was excited to photograph these striking birds of prey in action while on a trip to southern Texas.
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.
Photo taken on March 4, 2021, in south Texas.
