I love the Cara Cara! I live in Southwest Louisiana and see them daily in cattle pasture areas. I think the population expanded from South Texas. I feel lucky to have them
Wish I could more specific, but I saw a grey Caracara on the grounds of the Melbourne, Fl water treatment plant. It was definitely grey in color. I rushed to a store to buy a camera I had been looking at for days and rushed back but it was gone. I went there several times but never saw it again...however, I guess it is useful as it was a sighting. This was around 2006. Just south of the 192 bridge it's quite easy to find Roseate spoonbills as well.
@@flamah10n Today, we don't have to worry about that - I have a beautiful iPhone 11+ that would've nailed those pics perfectly as the bird was only about 15 feet away. But then, it's more magical as a memory I suppose.
I grew up in Palm Beach County since the mid-70s your best bet to see a Cara Cara is actually going to be from Western Hobe Sound area along the 95 corridor All the Way West toward the northern tip of Lake Okeechobee with a great concentration in the Kissimmee Prairie State Park. The Hobe Sound boundary is about as far east and south as you'll see them with few exceptions
When a Crested Caracara showed up here in Ontario (near Wawa) it created quite a stir! Unfortunately I wasn't able to go, but the photos that some of my friends got were stunning.
I am privileged to live in the Rio Grande Valley in South Texas were there is a large population of Caracaras. it is a common sight to see these beautiful raptors souring across the countryside down here. They do stretch all the way up past Central Texas but the population down here is much larger.

Everything you've said about the Palm Beaches is true! This birding adventure is wonderful. Thanks so much for sharing!

I'm late on this but I do live in Florida and I will try to befriend one of these majestic and ultra intelligent birds.
