Caracara Couple

Galveston Island, Texas

A drive-by shot.
'Caracara' comes from a South American Indian name, based on the bird's call. Has declined in parts of U.S. range,
owing to shooting and habitat loss. Some evidence of recent increases in Texas. The distinctive race on Guadalupe Island, Mexico, became extinct in 1900.

Just hanging out on the porch. It must be amazing to see. The information about their numbers is sad. V

Well seen and shot. Love the symmetry of the pair. You couldn't have posed them better if you had tried.

Good eye to have seen these two surveying their domain, or just having a friendly chat. V.
