This adult Crested Caracara was found by Rob Moeller on 14 August 2005 along Swanton Road in Santa Cruz County. Almost a month later, Cindy and I made our way by the spot on the way home from a pelagic weekend on Monterey Bay. We were rewarded with excellent views as the bird fed on a carcass along Highway One.
