Crested Caracara update Mar 13th

[Brandon]

Kara Carragher and I re-found the Crested Caracara at 8:10am-8:25am this morning, at this location 38.190848, -104.919025  It was first feeding on a deer carcass, then flew onto a juniper tree, at least five other birders saw it on top of the juniper, and then the bird flew north and west, hopefully back toward the cows.  Hopefully the people who were there, that just missed it, got to see it later on.

Good birding,

Hi all,

To piggyback on what Brandon wrote, I got word that the caracara had indeed returned to the western edge of the area where it has been seen the past several days, where a number of birders at the time I left were staking it out. Quite a few folks out there as of a few hours ago, and I plan on returning there later today too. Bad cell connections in the area though, which is the only reason why there haven't been many reports from today yet.

Good luck!

Eric
