Observation details
I found the previously reported Crested Caracara this morning on Airport Road south of Corvallis. Yesterday, I arrived at 1:30, just 30 minutes after the bird was last seen. Today, I arrived at 7:10 to learn that the bird had left about 20 minutes prior. However, it quickly flew into view, low over the field and landed at the dead skunk where it fed for about 20 minutes. It then flew into some distant oaks where it became quite difficult to see. After about 30 minutes it perched in a couple of open spots providing good views. About 8:30 it flew over the oaks and out of sight.
