Another bird on my wanted list, the Crested Caracara, Caracara plancus. I'd seen them briefly in Costa Rica but really wanted to get some shots of them. Still not the best but better than my previous efforts.

Not a bird I have ever seen before or for that matter even knew existed. Neat shots of it.

Wow, no wonder why it was on your list Kevin. It's like part Eagle and part Vulture it seems to me. What a special bird!

Thanks for looking and commenting Alan, it's greatly appreciated

Thanks Jim, it's difficult to get good shot sometimes when you've only got 2 weeks to fit everything in.
