Caracaras can be found in many areas around the world, including North America. Guess what the talons are for?

Cara Cara navels are sweeter, though I like regular navels just as much 😊
But ever since my son discovered Cara Cara, he is not so interest in regular ones 🤔
Similarly, he has a strong preference for Honeycrisp apples and complains about any other kind🤔

While Crested Caracara is not the official eagle of Mexico or even an eagle (caracaras are falcons), there used to be a popular legend that this was Mexico's national eagle

i think it's because these birds are so familiar & confident, you encounter them on their road patrols where they sometimes do pick up snakes

this youngster was photo'd on a lawn in Costa Rica
