Description
A Crested Caracara or Northern Caracara (Caracara cheriway) keeps a watchful eye on its surroundings from its dead tree perch at Choke Canyon State Park in Calliham, 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.
