Crested Caracaras
(Genus Caracara)
Info
Caracara is a genus in the Family Falconidae and the Subfamily of Polyborinae. This genus consists of two extant species, the Northern and Southern Crested Caracaras, and one extinct species, the Guadalupe Caracara. The only visible difference between the two living species is that the southern species possesses more barred plumage than the northern species. The minor physical differences between these species resulted in their originally being classified as a single species.

The family is divided into two subfamilies, Polyborinae, which includes the caracaras and forest falcons, and Falconinae, the falcons, kestrels and falconets (Microhierax and Spiziapteryx). They differ from the eagles of Accipitridae, in that falcons kill with their beaks instead of their taloned feet. They have a "tooth" on the side of their beak
