I would be honored to get a picture of one of those, I can't imagine how you feel
unbelievable!
Thanks, ya'll. There's a nest down the road from my house a few miles. A pair are permanent residents here.
Excellent shots! That is one special bird to see in the US.
But great shots!
By the way, Cara cara is one word: >Caracara
