Crested Caracara

Sunday on the return voyage aboard Memaw's Kitty we were cruising through Polk
county when we saw a rather unusual bird. At first I was not able to identify it, but later I realized it was a Crested Caracara.

Caracara is a member of the falcon family but accepts a much wider range of food than most, hence our sighting. It was feeding on road kill, a carrion eating Caracara as it were.
Caracara is also the national bird of Mexico.
