Another fuzzy shot of that Crested Caracara. This image
shows the crest on its head a little better (not for sale).Back to Gallery        Photo ID: OPC13

   Not the sharpest photo in the world, as it was taken from very far away then heavily cropped, but Crested Caracaras are fairly rare north of the Mexican border. Caracaras are sometimes called "Mexican Eagles" but they actually belong to the falcon family.
