Striated Caracara
Sea Lion Island, Falkland Islands Striated Caracaras or Johnny Rooks are one of the rarest birds of prey in the world. In the Falkland Islands they are fairly common and some are very approachable like this immature bird. I have never been able to appraoch wild BOP as close as I did some of these birds-and with a 100-400 lens to boot. It was important to keep an eye on these birds though as they have been known to 'attack' people by flying into them with their feet. Canon EOS3 with 100-400IS on tripod, Provia 100F. Cheryl Ertelt
