I found this Crested Carcara gathering nesting material and taking up to the top of a schrub where they are adding to another birds nest from last year. Taken on North Padre island.The Crested Caracara is sometimes called the "Mexican eagle." Although it looks like a long-legged hawk the Crested Caracara is actually a falcon. The Crested Caracara is the only falcon that collects material to build a nest.
