Caracaras Fighting Over Perch
Artist

Medium
Photograph - Photography
Description
These two adult Crested Caracaras both wanted to sit on the perch. The one below, with the ornage beak, had been on it, but the one above with the yellow beal flew in and chased the other one off. Such is life in the bird world (and often in the human world as well!)! I was excited to photograph these striking birds of prey in action while on a trip to southern Texas.
The Crested Caracara looks like a hawk with its sharp beak and talons, behaves like a vulture, and is technically a large tropical black-and-white falcon. It is instantly recognizable standing tall on long yellow-orange legs with a sharp black cap set against a white neck and yellow-orange face. The Crested Caracara is a bird of open country and reaches only a few states in the southern U.S. It flies low on flat wings, and routinely walks on the ground.
Photo taken on March 4, 2021, in south Texas.
