This is certainly a very appealing shot though I guess this didn't REALLY happen in front of your camera?? Would love to hear more about it

Like this portrait but Are you sure it's a juvenile caracara?
I wasn't there where this was shot but I think if it's a caracara it''s a yellow-headed caracara.
Correct me if I'm wrong..........don't want to be smart-ass in this group

This occurred in Costa Rica on one of Steve's Workshops. The bird was hanging out on a limb at the resort and we were able to get fairly close. After the group moved away, I lagged behind to get a better angle and this slow bug came flying along. I don't think he was actually watching the bug as he did not follow it, but at this angle, it sure looks like it. Here's the uncropped shot taken with a 600mm w/ 1.4 teleconverter. Also, because the bug is in focus, I think its actually to the side of the bird, not in its line of sight.

Nice shot and I don't know how much you've already cropped this shot if you've cropped this shot?
I would suggest to crop out a bit more of the left side but that's my vision (take the subject out of the center...........but stays a great shot!

Yes, you're right. This is in Costa Rica and there were Yellow-headed and Crested Caracara. This is a juvenile and the mature bird looks like this:Like this portrait but Are you sure it's a juvenile caracara?

I like the insect, and the rapture is OK too! LOL. Magic when serendipity kicks in like this! Love this one, Charlie!
Ha, thanks for posting the big frame. In this shot the situation looks less odd somehow. Nevertheless this DID really happen so exquisite shot!
