Observation details
Continuing juvenile, not seen for almost an hour. As I was starting to head out, noticed the bird along the extreme edge of the lake kiting. From a distance, it looked like an immature Crested Caracara. It was too distant so I started to walk towards it. After a few minutes it appeared directly in front of me and was just hanging in the wind. It tried to land in a bare snag right off the main trail and two Black Vultures scared it off. I watched it land in another snag just up ahead and was able to watch it for a long while as it sat in the tree. I left it there and alerted others as I passed them heading in.
