©Delores J. Knowles 2008 -- The Crested Caracara (Caracara cheriway), a member of the hawk family, can be found nearby on the open pasture lands of the large horse and cattle ranches here in central Florida. There are small numbers of it in the southwestern United States also. It is known for eating just about anything it can overpower. It has even been observed swallowing baby alligators. It’s related to the Caracaras of Central and South America but is classified as a subspecies. Photographed in Citrus County, Florida.
