Meanings of caracara in English

The largest caracara-PolyborusBraziliensis-rangesthe grassy savannahs of La Plata.

The caracara takes little notice, except by bobbing its head.

The flight of the caracara is heavy and slow, and it is generally an inactive, tame, and cowardly bird.

It will frequently wait, as does the caracara, at the mouth of a rabbit-hole, and seize on the animal when it comes out.

Sometimes the caracara extended its scarlet blossoms from branch to branch, and gave the tree the appearance as though it had been hung with garlands.

They even start singing the hit song CaraCara when they see the car.

It is said, also, that several caracaras will unite in chase of large birds, even such as herons.

In this list may be included four species of the Caracara or Polyborus, the Turkey buzzard, the Gallinazo, and the Condor.

The Caracaras are, from their structure, placed among the eagles: we shall soon see how ill they become so high a rank.

I believe that naturalists call this bird Caracara Polyborus; it belongs to the order of the Apicides, and to the family of the vultures.
