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.

  1. You are right Barry. It shows that they do other things as well instead of just standing there. Posted 6 years ago
