We saw one in Magnolia yesterday. Normally I see them in South Texas, but not this far north. The pic below is just a stock photo of the type we saw (there are several subspecies apparently).
How far north do you find Caracaras?

We have a pair in Kaufman county, east of DFW
They're common in Ennis.
Little further north but see them here between Rockwall and Terrell all the time.
A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan executed next week.

Further north than Magnolia.
We see them in Coleman
Not to derail but we saw a bald eagle in Serbin yesterday. That was cool.
Hell I saw them in the Katy suburbs 2 years ago.
Ive seen them north of Dallas many times in Collin and Grayson counties
It seems they are doing the white wing dove expansion.
Okay, we're now north of Dallas. Anybody seen 'em in Oklahoma?FSGuide said:

They are all over my neighborhood in Pflugerville. Never really thought about them anywhere north of here.
I have seen them in Runnels, Shackelford, and Stephens Counties. They are hard to get close enough to take a decent picture of them with an iPhone.
Have seen them for the first time, this year, in Ozona
All over Brazos valley
We have them in San Saba county. They've been around here my whole life.
Saw my first ones 5 years ago or so while shredding pastures out in Brenham. They're moving north quickly.
Saw a pair on our property a couple of mornings ago. We are just north of Cedar Park (north of Austin). They were perched at the top of one of our big old live oaks. If you've never heard them - they make an odd croaking noise. Got Sully's attention (our Golden) and he started barking at them until they flew off.
This photo seem to be the most accurate distribution map I've seen published
Montana and Canada are a good bit farther north than I ever would have imagined!

Just spotted one between Hamilton and Goldthwaite
Idk, but Lee County should be as dark purple as the graph goes. As thick as buzzards.

Was it at the toddy house or what?

Yep, they were always on the gut piles at the ranch
I'm 60 and I've seen them in north central Texas my whole life. An old ranch manager in knew in San Saba called them Mexican Eagles and shot them onsite because he thought they preyed on his goat.
Interesting because I saw my first Bald Eagle on that ranch when I was about 18. Glad he didn't shoot that one.

They absolutely will go after newborn calves.
Yea, he told me stories of them attacking a new born before it made it completely out of the womb.
No just passing through on FM 2005
See them regularly in north Denton county.
here in Crawford, I bet for every five buzzards you see one caracara.
The predation of caracara on newborn calves is way overblown.
Gonzales County has more caracara than anywhere else and has for decades. No one pays them much attention.

Cool birds to watch fly but they are not my favorite bird. On a roadkill one will see the buzzards wait for the caracara to finish his fill.

That is neat. There's usually a pair we see from time to time in the river in Plum, just west of La Grange. I wonder if it was one of those travelling your way.
Fayette county is thick with them. We've always called them Mexican Eagles.
Here I am over here thinking this was a thread about a Dove hunt in Venezuela.....
