 Mountain Caracara in Lauca Park Just after this photo was taken, the mountain caracara ripped the lizard to bloody shreds, dropping the tidbits into the nest. In this area Phalcoboenus megalopterus makes stick nests warmly lined with camelid wool, usually placed on rock ledges overlooking a bofedal. Both adults attend the nest. Other raptors seen recently in the area: American kestrel, Aplomado Falcon, Peregrine Falcon, Variable Hawk, Andean Condor, Black-chested Buzzard-eagle, Cinereous Harrier, plus 5 species of owls. back to birding itineraries |
