Crested caracara

A Crested caracara (Caracara plancus) perched on one leg on a fence post, Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica. The yellow mark on its breast is a distended crop, indicating that it has recently eaten. The crop is a thin-walled expanded portion of the alimentary tract used for the storage of food prior to digestion.
