I agree, Jason – very handsome birds. The first day of my trip, I saw 3 in a field, 2 of them mating. Too bad I was driving by at 60mph! The next day I idled down the shoulder of the road for about 7 miles, with these photos to show for it. I definitely didn’t see the caracaras while out on the trails.
Delightful! These birds are always skittish, so I’ve yet to get any reasonable photos of them. I’m so jealous of yours. They’re such handsome birds.
