Mexican Eagle

These birds are named the Crested Caracara.  They are the Mexican national bird.  You find them here in south Texas as well as the southern areas of the Southwest.  They live all the way down through Mexico and into northern South America.  They remind me of  eagles when in flight.  They feed on carrion and hang out with the vultures.  It must be mating season because we are seeing them in pairs all over the place. 
We accepted a job for the summer in North Dakota.  Its a campground called Indian Hills and it is just west of a little town called Garrison about 80 miles south of Minot.  It is located right on Lake Sakakawea where the walleye fishing is phenomenal.  We just watched a fishing show -- Jason Mitchell Outdoors -- and he was fishing with a local guide right where the resort is located.  The walleyes looked fabulous.  We can't believe we are looking forward to a summer in North Dakota but its all about the fishing!
