A Sequel to yesterdays image of the crested caracara at take off. As He continued his flight you could see the wonderful coloring and feather markings on this beautiful bird and it was a thrill to see him in flight as most times I have encountered this species it has been on the ground feeding.

Wishing you a wonderful start to a new week and a very blessed one !!!!!
