Crested Caracara
Bird recording on this page by Mr. Greg Clark
at: http://mirror-pole.com
Along with the Caracara there is a Mocking bird chirping in the background
Before we get started with these images,
I would like to pass on some advise to those of you who would like to attempt to photograph the Caracara.
Unless you can become invisible & have more patience than a stone, don't.

******************************
Crested Caracara keeping watch over the nesting area.
***************
Just wanted you to see a side view.
**************
As you can see there are two nest in this cactus.
The Caracara was using the one in the lower left side of the cactus.
*****************
This is a little better view.
The Caracara is using the one on the left.
***************
In this close up view of the nest, you can see that the twigs
are much finer than many other large bird nest, such as the Harris' & Red-tailed hawks.
