Den här rovfågeln från Costa Rica ser ju mest ut som en gam på min bild, men den hör till falkarna.
This bird of prey looks a lot like a vulture on my shots, but it belongs to the falcons.

This shot is a bit more shaky but it shows the beak and the tail better.

It was more less an accident that we spotted this Laughing Falcon sitting on a branch right in an opening in the trees. Nice!

Crested Caracara - Caracara cheriway

This bird seemed to olike the cows. It walked among them. Strangely this bird belongs to the falcon family. Acc to the book it feeds mainly on carrion.
