Help me I.D. this Strange Bird prowling around my back yard
Posted by CoastieGM on 5/12/13 at 11:21 am00
I thought I'd seen everything in my area of TX, but this strange one arrived this morning. WTF?
-About 20" tall
-Flies like a hawk
-Colors similar a hawk
-Weird elongated beak
-Has a tuft of feathers on the back of it's head
-When walking, it has a stride like a chicken or a turkey...doesn't waddle like a hawk.
-Walks around on the ground quite a bit
Pics below were taken from far away and had to be blown-up...best quality I could get.

This bird is a Crested Caracara. It is a bird of prey. It is often seen feeding with vultures or hunting on pastureland. Range SW US. Tex. and Fl. to South America.

This.. cool bird
Thanks guys, I think you've nailed it. Damn, this is the awesomest board around...
So first it's a few Mexicans, anchor babies...lots of mexicans
10 yrs ago, a freak sighting of a Mexican whitewing dove...now they've displaced most of the turtle dove
5 yrs ago, saw my first Mexican tree duck...now they're all over the place
So today a Mexican eagle (Caracara)?
Am I seeing a pattern?
(I wonder if these things are "protected" in any way).
