- In this episode we take a look at the rare American flamingos of south Florida, singing Bachman's sparrows and the growing number of nesting crested caracaras in Palm Beach county Florida.
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.
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.
I saw a pair of caracaras in Florida
the accent really makes this feel good.
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
Have photographed them in SW Florida (Naples, Bonita Springs) just a few mile inland.
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.
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.
life does not wait for to buy a photographing machine hahahaha, just look at it while is there. 😁
@@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.
Amazing footage!
They hunter also ,i'v seen them line up and scan the ground like ibis and eat everything they find
I've been trying to find the caracara's here in AZ but its hard to find them.
Dorian Escalante ive seen two in the nogalas area
Ok cool! Maybe i can find some there. Thanks!!
My God....
I've been 5 Times in Florida, but only one in Palm Beach.
I prefer Miami / Homestead Area
