Northern Crested Caracara

Caracara plancus

 

Tom Jenner
This is a fairly common bird of open country and farmland throughout most of the region. They seem to be especially common in the dryer regions. Howell and Webb do not include northern and much of central Guatemala within the range of this species, which is an area that is mostly unsuitable highland or forest habitat.
