1 The largest caracara - Polyborus Braziliensis - ranges the grassy savannahs of La Plata.
2 The caracara takes little notice, except by bobbing its head.
3 The flight of the caracara is heavy and slow, and it is generally an inactive, tame, and cowardly bird.
4 It will frequently wait, as does the caracara , at the mouth of a rabbit-hole, and seize on the animal when it comes out.
5 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.
6 They even start singing the hit song CaraCara when they see the car.
7 It is said, also, that several caracaras will unite in chase of large birds, even such as herons.
8 In this list may be included four species of the Caracara or Polyborus, the Turkey buzzard, the Gallinazo, and the Condor.
9 The Caracaras are, from their structure, placed among the eagles: we shall soon see how ill they become so high a rank.
10 I believe that naturalists call this bird Caracara Polyborus; it belongs to the order of the Apicides, and to the family of the vultures.
