Crested Caracara

Sadly, it's time to move on from Coyotes. Next (in alphabetical order) on my series of "5" Star Photos we come to the Crested Caracara. This is a vulture-like Falcon found in the extreme southern parts of Arizona, Texas, and Florida. They have occasionally been reported in Southern California as well. The largest concentration of them is in the Caribbean, Central, and South America. Unlike the other Falcons, it feeds mainly on carrion. In Arizona, the Saguaro Cactus is the perfect height for it to look for its food.
