Sep 29, 2008 23:37 | #1 Happened to be in Waco, TX for the weekend with my mom and managed to make it out to the Lake Waco Wetlands for a few hours and found a real treat. A crested caracara (lifer).  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size. Everyday use: 7D2, 1.4x v3 Canon TC (sometimes the 2x v2 Canon TC), Canon 500mm f4 L IS USM; 6D, 24-105L

I was not aware these birds live in the wild in the US, but it is Texas, after all. Stan (See my gallery at http://www.pbase.com/sparker1

Sep 30, 2008 22:55 | #8 Duane N wrote in post #6411725  Great capture! Is this a younger bird? I've never seen one myself but for some reason I thought they had some black in them? Yes, it is an immature bird. There were 3 total, but those pics weren't any good. Everyday use: 7D2, 1.4x v3 Canon TC (sometimes the 2x v2 Canon TC), Canon 500mm f4 L IS USM; 6D, 24-105L
