These animals are quite resourceful, and when finding food will cleverly take full advantage of every opportunity afforded them.

In the wild, Crested Caracaras inhabit open brush lands. They can hunt insects and small animals. They feed mostly on carrion. Sometimes, the Caracara will visit carrion only for the potential to uncover insects in the carcass. Crested Caracaras will also harass other birds, even those as big as buzzards, until they drop their food for the Caracara. Their long talons aid the Crested Caracara in scratching the ground to unearth insects. Their long legs allow them to wade in search of frogs. These birds will also eat sick young livestock, turtle eggs, fish and even small turtles. Crested Caracaras make different sounds for alarm (shrieking), protest (repeated clucking sounds), and mating (repeated clicks ended by a drawn out trilling noise). During mating season, male Crested Caracaras will fight each other for females in mid-flight.

Golden falcon - good in-flight shot Livio. You have captured him very well, and his colours and sharpness are good. And you show the light in his eye too - good job,

Wow, Livio, you did it again!
You know the crested caracara is one of my favorite birds, and to see it in flight in such crisp details and bathed in such beautiful light is an absolute treat. TFS, : )

I think I said it before, but I can't help it not saying it again: Youre the Master of the birds.
All technical issues are spot on. now you add the great composition...

Regards, Petru

Good flight shot, marvellous. I Like the composition very much , the directional space adds value to the picture, lighting is amazing

great inflight shot with a wonderful golden light.
the feathers on the left wing are so detailed,

very well seen & captured, thor.

Hi Livio,
An excellent in-flight shot. Perfect timing to get the nice wing spread. Frozen perfectly with sharp detail. Warm light has given nice colors and tones in the plumage. Looks great!

Très belle image d'oiseau en plein vol. La composition est belle, la netteté très bonne de même que l'exposition. Le fond gris fait bien ressortir l'oiseau. Bravo.

Great shot! I guess it´s name changed for Caracara plancos.
I would sugest you to change the white balance, it is too yellow..

Excellent flight shot, Livio, and very nicely side-lit by the warm colours of the evening (?) sun.
Regards, Nigel.

Hello Livio,
pose is excellent, great work. Very good sharpness, details, colours and composition. Thanks for sharing.

Bonjour Livio
C'est une belle prise de vue et une belle composition .les couleurs les détails sont réussis.
Bravo et merci.....JP

Superb in-flight shot Livio. Captured at justteh right moment and everything was going your way. Bird at the right height, sun in a good angle, wings at the top of their arc and a great neutral grey background.

IMO, your best shot so far, breathtaking.
cheers

Linda captura Lívio.
Definições perfeitas e composição harmônica em todos os sentidos.
Nota excelente também.
Parabéns,

Hola Livio,
perfecta toma de un carancho en vuelo, muy buenos los detalles de las plumas. La luz del sol bajo lo hacen parecer, en mi imaginación, de madera.
Obrigado
