Spotted this Crested Caracara while driving by the St John River the other day. I knew is was a Caracara so i made a quick U-turn for some pic's (always carry a camera :D )
Looks like he had a small rodent,

Great shots of one of the best named birds out there :p

Very nice, Eric. My wife, who is the birder in the family, has been looking for a Caracara every time we go to Florida. No joy yet.

Appreciate the offer, Eric. The hassle is our condo is a bit further south in Stuart. We tend to head south to Delray and Boynton to shoot at Green Cay and the Wakodahatchee Wetlands or all the way down to the 'Glades.

We are hoping to head to Merritt Island on our next trip which should be in January for a couple of weeks. I need to get the wife retired!
