Florida - Art of the Sunshine State
I captured this young Crested Caracara resting on a fence in Felda, Florida. This bird is part of the falcon family. They are known as the King of Vultures as they are often seen chasing vultures away from food. The skin on it's face can change color. Pink seen here indicates a young bird and as adults the skin can be yellow, orange or red depending on the mood of the bird.
