Carunculated Caracara
The Carunculated Caracara is an opportunistic species usually seen walking on the ground in open habitats in the high Andes. It is very similar to the Mountain Caracara , but the Mountain Caracara has uniform black chest and upper belly.
The adult has glossy black head, neck and upper parts. On the black upper wing, the flight feathers are tipped white, forming a white trailing edge.The upper tail-coverts are black, whereas the black tail has conspicuous white base and terminal band. The chest plate is speckled with a white pattern that is quite becoming.
I found this guy in the Antisana preserve at 12K ft. (See post entitled Antisana Volcano) to view location. Lucky frame as they do not fly often. As I said in the aforementioned they make a living on the ground.
