Dancing Caracaras in Canastra
I couldn't resist this image when I noticed that most of the images in JD were of perched or standing birds. In the Brazilian savannah (Cerrado), these birds are very common and like the burrowing owls, they love to perch on the termite mounds that dot the landscape. Sometimes 2 will try to share a mound with much flapping and high stepping until they get comfortable. I particularly liked this image because it almost looks like they are dancing.

The Southern Crested Caracara, also known as the Southern Caracara or Carancho, is a bird of prey in the family Falconidae.
