| Until 2010, the Clay-colored Thrush was called the Clay-colored Robin. Its range is from South Texas, where it is expanding its territory down to South America. The Clay-colored Thrush has a distinctive song. The song, rather low-pitched and with a slow steady tempo, consists of many slurred musical phrases which are often repeated irregularly. The tock flight call is like the American Robin's but harsher. To listen, go here: http://www.xeno-canto.org/sounds/upl...QFL/52b1_a.mp3

| The Crested Caracara, National Bird of Mexico The Crested Caracara Caracara cheriway ![]() The Crested Caracara, the National bird of Mexico, ranges from the Southern United States, throughout Mexico and Cenral America all the way down to northern South America. Quote: Diet, Feeding Habits, and Breeding Caracaras eat just about anything they can find. They will scavenge carrion, or hunt on their own, preying upon rodents, lizards, snakes, frogs, fish, crabs, grasshoppers, and even other birds. They are very aggressive thieves as well, and readily steal prey from others of their species, or other birds, such as pelicans. Caracaras build nests of sticks (as do most other birds of prey), in the tops of cacti, palms, or other trees, and lay two or three eggs in them. Birds of legend, caracaras were sacred to some pre-Columbian civilizations, such as the Aztec. Depictions of these birds are found in some of the ancient books of the Aztec, and some of their deities had characteristics of them. Mexico is the only country in which the bird is a national symbol.

| A few years back, I got to go to beautiful Belize on a Carribean vacation and saw something I'll never forget--wild tropical kingbirds flying everywhere on the river we took to visit the national zoo of Belize. Their wings looked like angel wings. They were so lovely they just took my breath away.
