a juvenile Crested Caracara

2nd day camping at Kissimmee Prairie Preserve
this state park is one of several that have an equestrian loop for campers that bring their horses. There are paddocks available, and most of the trails/ dirt roads are for horseback riding as well as hiking. I noticed a family of Caracaras were hanging around the horse enclosures, and the adult birds were showing this youngster how to scratch at the dirt, but I couldn't see what they were finding.
There were more horses here at one time than we've seen before.
