    caracara eating newborn calves

    You couldn't shoot these things If you did get a permit, they fly too fast and low, skirting around a pasture at high speed like a Falcon.. They are vicious and have overpopulated with no natural predators.

    caracara eating newborn calves

    Here is what I've figured out after loosing still more cow/calf pairs. The black buzzards wait around in the trees and circling waiting for the afterbirth. The caracara are the ones attacking the cow and calf during birthing. After that the black buzzards join in.

It was alive and well one day and picked clean the next. The Caracara fly much faster than any buzzard, almost like an hawk. They fly...

    I am in South/Central Texas. Just this month I have lost two newborn calves and a 2 year old having her first. The 2 year old cow was in the open clearing down next to a tank and the calf about four feet away. Right now there are around 100 of these black buzzards, turkey buzzards and Caracaras...
