Adult Striated Caracara – head detail. The Striated Caracara (Phalcoboenus australis) is known as the Johnny Rook by Falklanders. They are more abundant on the Falklands than in Tierra del Fuego, and scavenge carrion, mainly sheep and dead birds, and human refuse. Striated Caracaras are also predators, and often hang around cormorant and penguin rookeries, looking for an opportunity to steal eggs or chicks. Striated Caracaras are bold, allowing close approach by people. This adult Striated Caracara was perched on a log in the garden at Carcass Island Lodge, soaking up the late afternoon sun in a sheltered spot. Elevation: 10 m. Date added to IBC: February 5, 2019.
