Crested caracara / caracara quebrantahuesos (Caracara cheriway), Pima County, Arizona.
The name caracara is probably imitative of the bird's call. The Spanish common name quebrantahuesos is literally bone breaker.

BOTD: Crested Caracara
Photo: Manjith Kainickara
"Related to the typical falcons, but very different in shape and habits. The Crested Caracara is a strikingly patterned, broad-winged opportunist that often feeds on carrion. Aggressive, it may chase vultures away from road kills. Widespread in the American tropics, it enters our area only near the Mexican border and in Florida. 'Caracara' comes from a South American Indian name, based on the bird's call."
- Audubon Field Guide

New Post has been published on https://petnews2day.com/birds-news/the-current-frontrunners-for-bird-photographer-of-the-year-2022/
The Current Frontrunners for Bird Photographer of the Year 2022
The international Bird Photographer of the Year 2022 (BPOTY) photography competition has released the current frontrunners from its annual competition.
A Contest With Bird Conservation in Mind
The annual contest is now in its seventh year, with over 20,000 entered photos from 115 different countries so far in 2022. The contestants compete for a £5,000 ($6,030) cash prize and the prestigious Bird Photographer of the Year 2022 title.
Photographers of all ages and experience levels are welcome to submit their best bird photos, which, if successful, are critiqued by leading experts and may get published in a coffee table book or put on display in the traveling BPOTY exhibition.
The United Kingdom-based organization raises funds for various charities and trusts, supporting bird-related conversation projects.
“Birds are an incredibly diverse group of animals, and we’ve seen stunning images of everything from mallard ducks to harpy eagles this year, says Will Nicholls, wildlife cameraman and Director at Bird Photographer of the Year.
“We celebrate birds and conservation through images, and it is always a pleasure for everyone on the judging panel to see the work of such talented photographers.”
Before announcing the winners on September 8th, 2022, the organization has released a brief preview of this year’s submissions, which can be seen below:

day 346, a crested caracara for @ahalfofoneforbreafast.
Requests for birds are open! Just drop a message with one and I’ll reply when I can. It just takes me a while to get to them these days. I’m aiming for at least once a week, usually Thursdays.

Northern crested caracara (Caracara cheriway)
The northern crested caracara is a bird of prey in the family Falconidae. The northern caracara is a resident in Cuba, northern South America and most of Central America and Mexico, just reaching the southernmost parts of the United States, including Florida, where it is resident but listed as threatened. Northern caracaras inhabit various types of open and semi-open country. They typically live in lowlands but can live to mid-elevation in the Northern Andes. The northern caracara has a length of 49–58 cm and a wingspan of 107–130 cm. The northern caracara is a carnivorous scavenger that mainly feeds on carrion.

hey, love your work :3 question: what is your favourite raptor?
Hello, thank you!
Thats an easy one for me. It's a weird falcon that runs around on the ground a lot and acts like a vulture!

Crested Caracara!
The crested caracara is a member of the Falconidae family
However! Unlike most falcons these guys usually scavenge rather then hunt and they are great at it
If you have read this far why not follow us @animalfacthub for daily animal facts and pics!
