Crested Caracara

Crested Caracara

Crested Caracara is a name for certain falconid birds of prey. These were formerly believed to make up a single species "Polyborus plancus" or "Caracara plancus", but are now treated as two living and one recently-extinct species. The name "Crested Caracara" is still widely used for the northern species.

* Northern Caracara, "Caracara cheriway" - From around the Amazon River and west-central Peru and northwards.
* Southern Caracara, "Caracara plancus" - From around the Amazon River and southern Peru and southwards.
* Guadalupe Caracara, "Caracara lutosa" - Formerly Guadalupe Island off Baja California Peninsula, Mexico; extinct (1900 or 1903)
