Caracara

Since I mentioned them a little more information they're not found everywhere but we have a surplus here. They're not friends of the ranchers and will kill calves. I have run them off of a new born before. More commonly known as Mexican Eagles here they have a distinct clicking sound they make and we have had them nest in one of our trees at the house. My wife's camera card is full of images of them every time I try to video them they get alarmed and retreat.

Neat looking. Too bad its such a menace.

@orkan Black headed buzzards or juvenile buzzards are just as bad. The juveniles haven't developed their sense of smell yet and go after calves and fresh kills or so I am told. They were working on the pigs rear end already. A pissed off momma cow will run them off usually if she can.
