3634- Crested Caracara (Northern)

            We were driving along in Paulino's '55 Chevy when I spotted this pair of 'birds' up in a tree. Paulino hit the brakes and pulled off to the side of the road. He declared those birds were Crested Caracaras. He was happy and excited I saw them, but even more so because there was the pair, at once!

They are in the falcon family and are about 50cms (or 20in). I was able to get a few shots, in different pose before they flew off.

Thanks for looking, etc.:)
