Caracara cheriway
Juvenal plumage;
As I was crawling toward this
young Caracara to get a closer view,
I looked up to find him running
directly toward me. I guess my clumsy
crawling made him think I was dying
and he came over to see if I needed to
be eaten :-) In the end, he decided I
didn't look all that tasty and took off.
