Canon 1D MarkII 600 IS + 2XTC II plus 25 mm Extension Tube f8 1/1250 11:00 AM Cozad Ranch, South Texas. When I visited the Cozad Ranch at Linn, Texas. The ranch workers left a stale carcass of a Javelina (kind of wild pig) in front of the blind, needless to say the smell was not particularly nice. The Caracara knew I was on the blind and comfortably allowed me to take full frame and flying shots from the perch she was using, but she was afraid to come closer for a head shot and to eat the untouched "succulent meal". It became a power struggle, if I leave the blind, she will come and finish the carcass but if I stay she then will need get too close of a potential harmful human. At 11:00 AM we both were tired of interchanging looks and the light was really harsh, but then the hydrochloric acid of the stomach of the Caracara was a more powerful stimulus that the lactic acid of the tired muscles of my butt and she came to gorge herself like a child on a ice cream parlor. This is the result, I hope you like it. Juan E. Bahamon
