*********RARE BIRD ALERT--CRESTED CARACARA******

Hi birders,
We have just received a report at the bird store of a Crested Caracra at Fort Fraser on the Yellowhead Highway,west of Prince George. The bird was following a farmer cutting hay on a field near Fort Fraser, the Crested Caracra was feeding on the mice being kicked up by the hay cutter and was being mobbed by a flock of Common Ravens. The sighting was on August 22, 2008

Good birding
