Crested Caracara
Wow. I mean, really, wow. This past couple of weeks have been especially good for the hard-to-find birds. In the U.S. the Crested Caracara is found only in parts of central Florida and parts of Texas. I saw 3 in one day.
This pair were sitting on top of a telephone pole grooming each other. They supposedly are quite aggressive and will take food away from other predators. They look like they could do that.

Great shots! We are fortunate to see them often in our area around Houston, Texas. I love that first one.
