MEXICAN EAGLES

The Crested Caracara is a member of the falcon family. It feeds on snakes, lizards, and other live prey, but it will also eat carrion.

Referred to as the "Mexican Eagle", it is a magnificent bird with regal plumage and a daunting appearance.

The ranch hand killed a doe last night and left the "guts" on the ground in the pasture. Dawn this morning found two mexican eagles feasting on the protein for breakfast.

No additional venison was added to the freezer this morn, but a visit by the eagles on our beloved ranch made the morning ever the more special.

Just one of a thousand special moments at a special place. Thank you oh Lord and Savior for these our many blessings.
