Yellow-headed Caracara Picture - Bird


Photo Taken By: William Quatman



Animal Name: Yellow-headed Caracara
Animal Type: Bird
Species: Milvago chimachima
This bird of prey feeds mostly on carrion. However they also eat insects and snails, scouring the ground, where they are often seen in larger groups, Although they are falcons, they do not resemble true or forest falcons and are easily distinguished from them, having longer legs and necks and more rounded wings. They can be found on the American continent, ranging from Southern USA to Tierra del Fuego. The Yellow-headed Caracara is also found along larger rivers but only in the northeast part of the Amazon.
