The Stare

Linn, Texas

Birds of prey have their moments when they remind us we're looking at the living descendants of dinosaurs. Caracaras might be more inclined to scavenge carrion than pursue live prey, but they can look just as imposing as any other raptor. An old tree stump surrounded by prickly pear cactus makes a good vantage point to check for anything edible in the grass.
