Don't know about FL, but the Caracara is fairly common in Rio Grande Valley in south Texas. From Corpus Christi to Laredo and south throughout northern Mexico.
They are not widespread in Florida. The main US population is in Texas. According to Sibley's they prefer the "open savanna or desert". What they are doing in my swamp is beyond me.

yes lots in Texas but I can't get close to them there were at least 20 in this group but they all flew but a few before I got near enough to shoot.
and of course they like the open savanna better lots of venison carrion to eat. That beats turtle on the whole shell every time.
Excellent work as usual Harry. I finally made it down to the gulf coast and getting settled in.
Hey Michael,
Thanks Michael and congrats on your move. You should have lots of photo ops over there on the gulf side.

Thats a good shot. I've never seen that many at one time before. I ca understad their preference for venison over turtle, taht would be my choice too.
