Three's Company
I have been waiting and hoping for a shot like this for a LONG time! The crested caracara has been on my bucket list for years and has now moved to my lifer list. In all, I probably saw at least a dozen of these magnificent raptors on our recent trip to the Bolivar Peninsula in Texas. This is a family portrait - mom, dad and junior. I saw them a distance off and was able to creep closer and closer to them after I parked the car. They eventually took off one by one as I stood with my mouth wide open. Luckily I was able to get glass on the last one as it did a fly by right in front of me. But that's a story for a different day......
Taken at Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge.
My sincere thanks to all who spend the time to view, like or comment on my photos. It is much appreciated!
