Crested Caracara

 

Caracara cheriway or Polyborus plancus

The Sibley Field Guide to Birds of Eastern North America (p. 92) describes the Black Vulture's flight in this way: "... much quicker wingbeats in flight, with wings held flatter and lack of rocking motion."

Photo taken with a Nikon D300 using a Nikon 300mm, f/4.5 manual focus lens.
