(352a) Chimango Caracara - [ Santiago, Chile ]

....Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry shrubland, high-altitude shrubland, temperate grassland, Patagonian steppe, and heavily degraded former forest. This bird is typically found at edges of water and near towns and fields, the latter especially if they are newly ploughed. It is the most common raptor in the Argentinean Patagonia.....Wikipedia.

 

 

I've seen plenty of these Caracaras everywhere I go in Chile.
