Yellow-headed Caracara

The Yellow-headed Caracara is a striking bird of prey found mainly in Central and South America, particularly in open habitats such as grasslands, savannas, wetlands, and farmland. It is easily recognised by its pale yellow head and neck, dark brown body, and broad wings. Unlike many birds of prey, the Yellow-headed Caracara has a varied diet and is an opportunistic feeder. It eats insects, small animals, carrion, eggs, and sometimes fruit, making it highly adaptable to different environments.
