Northern Crested Caracara
Caracara cheriway
Native Range:
North America and Latin America
Notes:
distinctive shape and upright posture mark this distinctive carrion-feeding falcon; white feathers on head, tail and wingtips contrast with the black body and give the bird a 'white-at-all-points' look; likes open grasslands with scattered trees.
