The Crested Caracara (Mexican Eagle)

We made a visit to see Friends in Leakey, Tx. I got to see my first Mexican Eagle. They were quite a distance away, and it was a very over cast day. I was able to get a couple of neat shots. I just wanted to share with ya'll.

This is my next shot.

We also got to see the migration of the hawks. We had to google to know what we were looking at. It was amazing. These guys were really high and going higher. The first shot is of the kettle catching the currents.

This is them in formation.

I have a little bird that I need help identifing. This was also taken in Leakey on the Frio river.

Those Hawks are amazing. The last bird looks like an Eastern Phoebe.

Great shots Danea! I love the Caracara!

Yep, Eastern Phoebe.

Awesome shots Danea...I love the Caracara!

Yes, interesting colors on that Caracara.

Thanks for the id on the Easter Phoebe. I will let my friends know. We only saw him the one day.

Wow, what a sight to see the Mexican Eagle-they're just gorgeous. And then to see the hawk migration too. How incredible to see that! Cute phoebe too!!
