Northern Caracara – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Northern Caracara or Northern Crested Caracara (Caracara cheriway or Caracara planus), called Audubon’s Caracara in former times, is a bird of prey in the family Falconidae. It was formerly considered conspecific with the Southern Caracara (C. plancus) and the extinct Guadalupe Caracara (C. lutosus) as "Crested Caracara" – a name still commonly used for the Northern Caracara. [2] [3] [4] As its relatives, the Northern Caracara was formerly placed in the genus Polyborus.
