What the hell is a Crested Cacara? Western bird? Pacific?

Ive only seen them in Texas, you throw out a deer gut pile and they are there in droves.
Didnt know they ranged over here, or maybe its a new thing.

Doesn't sound like we need these around

Lake Charles area people have been seeing a lot of them. I just found that out last month.

I'm not a believer in man made global warming, but in general, yes we are on warming trend. The bird activity indicates as much.
So let's focus on something important. It's time the state includes black bellied tree ducks during teal season.

Yeah, the white winged invasion about 5 years ago signalled it to me.

I have always thought it odd that Caracaras are grouped with falcons. I also hate repeated syllables.

Yeah they seem pretty non falcon like

When we used to hunt in Welsh, all kinds of bird watchers would drive by. I had no idea it was such a big deal. We'd see Asians even. Apparently, it is a nice little tourist niche over that way.

Holmwood to sweetlake is a hotspot for caracaras. That's also home to largest population of wintering Sandhills cranes

they'd starve here if they needed to survive on quail

I have been watching a pair between Lacassine and Welsh for a year now. I wondered what kind of hawk they were. Now I know.
